Picked up a couple of tasks that are still showing as In Progress here, but don't seem to have made it to my box. No idea whose side the error is on, but I've not seen it happen before. Just FYI.

(Edit: Oh yeah, makes more sense if I link to the task, not the WU...)

Are these still happening? Were you able to start the workunit? It looks like the required files are there...

I changed the result xml template files.. I wonder if this is part of the reason.

The workunit is not there and was never seen again. Can't say if it is still happening or not, yet.

My result list is also showing many ghost WUs that never were downloaded on my boxes. :-(

EDIT: After detaching and reattaching my boxes the WUs are now shown as cancelled. So hopefully they are resting in peace in BOINC nirvana... *grin*

Someone might need to manually delete the ghost task and work out why this is happening.

yes, something really weird is going on. I'm not quite sure what... the server thinks its sending things out but i guess it's not happening.
