Hi Torben, To work out what is causing the failures have a look at the logs/*.log and the task/*.task files for the build, look for warnings and error messages. The status line in the .task file should say completed when the task has been successfully completed, and pending if it's still in the queue waiting to run. Issues could range from out of memory problems or out diskspace, or networking errors, what to do about it will depend upon what caused the problem, something that only you'll be able to work out form the logs.
You should be able re-run the build by just re-running vpbmaster with the build_master.source file that the original run generated, or at least that's what I recall, it's a while since I did lots of work on VPB.
