I dont have what you need but have recently been trying to bake occlussion onto my objects so i can then use the software renderer and save loads of render time. there is a preset for this in Mentalray batch bake but i cant get it to work. I seem to get either an all black texture or black and white stripes/smears - which looks like occlusion mapped on incorrectly.

Maybe try this and see if you can get it to work

has anyone used this and got it to work?
