First, in your output preset path, you'll need to escape those backslashes ('\\', not '\'):
new File("C:\\Users\\Justin\\Documents\\Adobe\\Adobe Media Encoder\\11.0\\Presets\\WP1080ytHDmrq.epr");
Second, you're running into an error I recently introduced into PProPanel; namely, not passing the output preset path INTO the render function.
Fix, by replacing the 'guts' of the render() function with the following:
var filterString = "";
if (Folder.fs == 'Windows'){
filterString = "EPR files:*.epr";
}
var outputPresetPath = File.openDialog ( "Choose output preset", // title
filterString, // filter available files?
false); // allow multiple?
app.enableQE();
var activeSequence = qe.project.getActiveSequence(); // we use a QE DOM function, to determine the output extension.
if (activeSequence) {
app.encoder.launchEncoder(); // This can take a while; let's get the ball rolling.
var timeSecs = activeSequence.CTI.secs; // Just for reference, here's how to access the CTI
var timeFrames = activeSequence.CTI.frames; // (Current Time Indicator), for the active sequence.
var timeTicks = activeSequence.CTI.ticks;
var timeString = activeSequence.CTI.timecode;
var seqInPoint = app.project.activeSequence.getInPoint(); // new in 9.0
var seqOutPoint = app.project.activeSequence.getOutPoint(); // new in 9.0
var projPath = new File(app.project.path);
var outputPath = Folder.selectDialog("Choose the output directory");
if ((outputPath) && projPath.exists){
var outPreset = new File(outputPresetPath);
if (outPreset.exists === true){
var outputFormatExtension = activeSequence.getExportFileExtension(outPreset.fsName);
if (outputFormatExtension){
var outputFilename = activeSequence.name + '.' + outputFormatExtension;
var fullPathToFile = outputPath.fsName +
$._PPP_.getSep() +
activeSequence.name +
"." +
outputFormatExtension;
var outFileTest = new File(fullPathToFile);
if (outFileTest.exists){
var destroyExisting = confirm("A file with that name already exists; overwrite?", false, "Are you sure...?");
if (destroyExisting){
outFileTest.remove();
outFileTest.close();
}
}
app.encoder.bind('onEncoderJobComplete', $._PPP_.onEncoderJobComplete);
app.encoder.bind('onEncoderJobError', $._PPP_.onEncoderJobError);
app.encoder.bind('onEncoderJobProgress', $._PPP_.onEncoderJobProgress);
app.encoder.bind('onEncoderJobQueued', $._PPP_.onEncoderJobQueued);
// use these 0 or 1 settings to disable some/all metadata creation.
app.encoder.setSidecarXMPEnabled(0);
app.encoder.setEmbeddedXMPEnabled(0);
/*
For reference, here's how to export from within PPro (blocking further user interaction).
activeSequence.exportAsMediaDirect( fullPathToFile,
outPreset.fsName,
app.encoder.ENCODE_WORKAREA);
Bonus: Here's how to compute a sequence's duration, in ticks. 254016000000 ticks/second.
var duration = app.project.activeSequence.end - app.project.activeSequence.zeroPoint;

var jobID = app.encoder.encodeSequence( app.project.activeSequence,
fullPathToFile,
outPreset.fsName,
app.encoder.ENCODE_WORKAREA,
1); // Remove from queue upon successful completion?
$._PPP_.message('jobID = ' + jobID);
outPreset.close();
}
} else {
alert("Could not find output preset.");
}
} else {
alert("Could not find/create output path.");
}
projPath.close();
} else {
alert("No active sequence.");
