Voucoder 2.3 - After Effects Connector 0.9.3 not working with x264 two-pass

Hi,

I'm using the latest Voucoder 2.3 with the After Effects Connector 0.9.3. When I add a rendering job via "Add to Render Queue" inside After Effects, and select a x264 with two-pass, the encoding stops at the first pass. No second pass is done, and no eventual file is created. See log file below. One pass x264 render in After Effects works fine.

If I choose "Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue", the x264 two pass render works. I think the difference is because Adobe Media Encoder appears to be using the Adobe Premiere Connector.
