Are you exporting to/from the same version of 3ds max?
I believe the invalid file error happens if you export an instance material library from a newer version of max to an older version. It's a max error message when loading .mat files if I recall...not something I have control over. So, for example, if you're Deadline exporting using 3ds max 2022 and then loading on 3ds max 2021, you'll get the error. Just either use matching Max versions, or disable instance material export/import in your tyCache settings.
