Hi Julie,
I think you're on roughly the right lines but the p4 sync command you are
forming needs to be altered a little to refer to a label. I think that you
need to prefix your label with an @ symbol for perforce to do what you
expect. e.g.
"#{local_p4} sync #{p4sync_flags} @#{release} && " +
"tar -C #{p4client_root} -c -z -f #{temp_tar_file_local} ."
More info on the p4 command line client can be found here:
http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/sync.html#1040665
Hope that helps,
--Richie
