Update verify

Some failures:

  • linux chunk 7
  • mac chunk 10
  • win32 chunk 6, 7

like 

FAIL: no complete update found for https://aus3.mozilla.org/update/1/Firefox/5.0/20110608151458/Linux_x86-gcc3/nl/betatest/update.xml?force=1

which is bug 693412. Added a patch there to get more debug info.

Also failed chunk 10 on all platforms because it couldn't get files from firefox/nightly/5.0b4-candidates, which were moved away recently in bug 684387. Patch was attached to that bug.

Reset reserved slaves

In buildbot-master08:/builds/buildbot/build1/master did 

echo 0 > reserved_slaves_bm08-build1

Check permissions / AV scan

No problems
