Build 2

Glandium discovered that we screwed up the release config, and ended up building with the wrong mozilla revision. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=810328#c1 for more details. To be fixed on Monday morning, Jan 7.

Fix failed check permissions / push to mirrors

These steps failed because the 10.0.12esr directory existed already (because build1 had pushed). I tried deleting the directory by hand, which failed because of the contrib builds that were present. I filed bug 827111 to get IT to delete the remaining contents. After that was fixed, I re-ran check permissions, then reran push to mirrors to re-populate the directory and get the automation going again. I filed bug 827120 to ask for the CDN cache to be purged.
