today I tried setting up the xenofarm client to compile pike on my Mac. It is running MacOS 10.3.5 (i.e. Darwin 7.5.0) and fink. Compiling Pike suceeds (I've tried it outside xenofarm), but xenofarm fails when assembling the result with the following lines from the xeonfarmclient.txt:
BEGIN response_assembly PASS END cd build/xenofarm && tar cf - . > ../../xenofarm_result.tar tar: ./compilelog.txt: file changed as we read it tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors make: *** [xenofarm] Error 2
I don't know why you're getting the error, but --ignore-failed-read will make tar treat it as a warning (tar is used 3 places in client.sh). GNU tar stats the file before and after reading it, and if the ctime is different, it prints that message.
