GPU Warning when rendering headless from command line

Hi,

 

I figured out that I cannot render from my command line by using aerender.exe unless I set the flag -reuse and it renders in the GUI.

 

What I already tried with no change:

- closing AE before starting the cmd-render

- setting the project to use software rendering only

 

Any other Ideas?

 

This is the error message:

*** GPU Warning: Special file 'TempDisableGPU3' found -- skipping GPU3 ***
aerender ERROR Eine vorhandene Verbindung wurde vom Remotehost geschlossen.
: Unable to receive at line 430
aerender ERROR: After Effects can not render for aerender. Another instance of aerender, or another script, may be running; or, AE may be waiting for response from a modal dialog, or for a render to complete. Try running aerender without the -reuse flag to invoke a separate instance of After Effects

 

 

This is the complete log:
