Very true unfortunately.  Whilst I was just an observer/user of Gradle
there was no problem, I could believe the CI builds and ignore the
testing.  However in order to contribute code I need to be able to run
the tests and believe the output!

Looks like some of the problem is NFS mounted filestores.  I just ran a
build on the same machjne using local filestore and it worked and on NFS
mounted filestore and it failed.  However, I just ran on another machine
also running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron and it fails with both NFS mounted
filestore and with local disc filestore.

However, overall I think there are NFS related issues here.  So the
culprit might be the assumption of sequential behaviour of file
manipulation.
