Reran release-comm-release-macosx64_update_verify which failed again with this error, which rail and bhearsum said was okay. In order to avoid this error, I'd have had to update verify configs and tag them.

bug 813552 - Bouncer submitter should be run if tagging fails for build1. Rail manually added the bouncer entries.
Forced release-comm-release-ready_for_release build since the failed update verify meant that it wasn't triggered automatically.
Push to mirrors
After getting the go from Standard8, used "force build" to start the "push to mirrors" builder.
Run pushsnip
# tbirdbld@aus3-staging cd /opt/aus2/snippets/staging ~/bin/pushsnip Thunderbird-17.0-build2.no-da
Run post release builder
Used "force build" to start it.
