Setting a project to use both SmartGuide and Multi-pass, Place & Route generates the following error when the "Implement Design" process is run.
"ERROR:Par:368 - SmartGuide and MPPR are incompatible. Please remove the -smartguide switch or the -n switch
ERROR (dpm_executeCommand): par failed
ERROR:ProjectMgmt:387 - TOE: ITclInterp::ExecuteCmd gave Tcl result 'error copying "mppr_result.par": no such file or directory'.

The usage is incorrect. SmartGuide and MPPR do not work together. The error from PAR clearly indicates this problem. However, Project Navigator should have prevented this use model or issued a warning when you set the incompatible properties. Additionally, the Project Navigator Tcl script for PAR should handle the inconsistency better.
This problem has been fixed in the latest 10.1 Service Pack available at:
