+It seems like there's a mismatch between the OCIO config path set in your Nuke
+settings and the actual path set in your OCIO environment.
+
+To resolve this, please follow these steps:
+1. Close Nuke if it's currently open.
+2. Reopen Nuke.
+
+Please note the paths for your reference:
+
+- The OCIO environment path currently set:
+  `{env_path}`
+
+- The path in your current Nuke settings:
+  `{settings_path}`
+
+Reopening Nuke should synchronize these paths and resolve any discrepancies.
