Hi Keith,
I recall I have seen this error, as well.
If I remember correctly, it corresponded to (parallel) filesystem issues
(metadata synchronization or something of that type).
I suggest the following strategy:
* export EASYBUILD_BUILDPATH=/dev/shm # or /tmp
* export EASYBUILD_INSTALLPATH=/tmp
* eb --try-amend=parallel=1 <foobar> # get rid of parallelization for a while
If the build succeeds, you pretty much can corner the cause(s) now.
