Ha - definitely a bug somewhere. It’s somehow detecting your cache output (a single filename) as an iterable, so it splits it up per character. Here’s the simplified output log of the issue:

[
    "/path/to/p",
    "/path/to/o",
    "/path/to/i",
    "/path/to/n",
    "/path/to/t",
    "/path/to/c",
    "/path/to/a",
    "/path/to/c",
    "/path/to/h",
    "/path/to/e",
    "/path/to/A",
    "/path/to/b",
    "/path/to/c",
    "/path/to/M",
    "/path/to/a",
    "/path/to/i",
    "/path/to/n",
    "/path/to/.",
    "/path/to/a",
    "/path/to/b",
    "/path/to/c"
]

Which shows that the string pointcacheMain.abc is somehow misidentified somewhere as a list/iterable.

This is a farm submission I see - which sounds like it could be related to this issue: AY-6230 - Submitting pointcache product type to farm is always a single file · Issue #58 · ynput/ayon-houdini · GitHub

Could this have any ways to follow to fix??.

Your log showing that you are using a version prior to the one in which the issue was fixed.
I’d recommend using a recent Houdini addon.
