Ok so I have a strange thing happening .
the problem is occuring with a Height map composite.
I have some text (child track and set to aplha)that is being displaced by a shot of liquid(parent track and set to heightmap).
Ram render looks great as I play it on the timeline.
Render to a new track, and the shot of liquid shows up with no text below, just as if the parent/liquid track is by itself.

First I thought it may be that it may have been that my project was set at the HDV 60i setting and rendering to a new track of the same setting. So I tried setting everything to DV widescreen, and got the same result.

'Render As" to Dv widescreen-new avi, it comes out fine.
'Render As" to HDV 60i it comes out wrong again.
This is driving me nuts ! Anybody have this happen b4?

Gotta be something in the original Veg file. I opened up another instance of Vegas, place the same media on the time line and it worked fine.
Go figure. I gatta save this Veg for a rainy day and figure out whats ging on here.
In the mean time I just transfer over my media pool to the new one and rebuild the rest of the project. : P

Weird. Maybe something was hanging up in your cache? I've had something similar to this happen before, but it wasn't related to compositing. Resetting my RAM to zero fixed the problem for me.
