OD comparison hang

Goblin

Having a problem with OD, doing a deployment from a Solaris box to a Win2k box, using the web interface. The deployment shows it gets up to doing a directory comparison, transactional, and then just hangs, forever.

In the Solaris machine log (on the Solaris box) we get:
ENG: 2002/11/06 10:42:05 AM GMT+11:00 end of cfg[/opt/OpenDeployNG/conf/test.xml]
ENG: 2002/11/06 10:42:05 AM GMT+11:00 Waiting for 1 children to complete phases

and in the Win2k machine log (on the Solaris box):
ERROR: Didn't understand name directives_file value tmp/.test.Win2kBox.diff_file

So it looks as though the comparison is going through, and then messing up on the diff_file definition.

We have a file in the OpenDeploy/tmp directory:
.test.MYDEFINITIONNAME.2KSYDMS0010

which has the line:
directives_file=tmp/.test.2KSYDMS0010.diff_file

Which is obviously the line in question that OD doesn't like, but why would it be generating this line, if it can't use it???

Interestingly, I have now had a few test deployments go through (including some that had previously hung at that point) and while they still give the directives_file error, they no longer hang after that error, but continue on to do a deployment correctly.

It appears that all is working well, but I'm not sure what changed to let these through, unfortunately.
