Here is the scenario. Set up a new scene with a sphere in it. Render Elements Specular, Diffuse, Lighting.
Main output path is set to folder names V01. All the elements are targets to V01 as well.

I made some lighting changes and then changed the main output path to folder V02. No elements updated to I ran this script and its still saying my main output path is still V01??????

function setUpRenderElements = ( MainSavePath = getFileNamePath rendOutputFilename print MainSavePath

re = maxOps.GetCurRenderElementMgr()
numb = re.numrenderelements()

for i=0 to (numb-1) do
(
el = re.getrenderelement i
currentFileName = (fileNameFromPath (re.GetRenderElementFileName i))
newDirectory = MainSavePath+"\\"+el.elementname
if re.GetElementsActive() then makeDir newDirectory
newFileName = newDirectory +"\\"+ currentFileName
re.SetRenderElementFileName i newFileName
)
)
setUpRenderElements()
