Those logs are really ephemeral, and that particular one is already gone. Can you possibly provide longer snippet, or copy the log somewhere more permanent, please?

There seem to be 50 failed attempts to remove the directory, then:

There's only one log to look at right now but IIRC the other one I saw was the same thing. I've copied it to https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8169445
I'm happy to loan someone an XP slave if they want to debug this (https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/How_To/Request_a_slave), but buildduty is unlikely to have time to dig into this.

FWIW, I've just seen the same error on my last (m-c) Try push, on Windows 8 x64, both debug and opt.

Little difficult to tell what this bug is actually about since nobody ever seems to be willing to say "this instance is what it's about" and then copy-paste-attach enough of a log for context, but these last few things that have been starred as this are "a bunch of xpcshell tests time out on Thunderbird, and the xpcshell harness is totally broken at handling timeouts so people who don't know that think the harness bustage is the actual bustage."

Right, all this misstarring of actual failures which should be filed but have not been filed is not getting us anywhere.
