I am still having this trouble deploying our website.

Would another committer please see how they go:

$] cat $FORREST_HOME/etc/publishing_our_site.txt


Note that i have confirmed my $FORREST_HOME/deploy.svn.settings file.

I can commit changes to the sources.

Just having trouble with:
$] forrest -f publish.xml deploy

which gives ...

BUILD FAILED
