Followed the steps @ http://wiki.mozilla.org/Unittest:Linux:ITSupport, no clue if it's working.

Paged by mrz. Taking a look.

Looking at the logs on tinderbox, I see:

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/builds/slave/trunk_centos5_4/.'

...and when I login to machine, I confirm there is no such directory. Looking on other qm-centos5-* machines, I do see similar directories. No idea why this is missing on this machine, so recreated this directory, and triggered a new unittest run. 

So far, this unittest run has made it past previous failures, but I'll watch to see if it goes green or not.

Now green, so closing.

Taken from step #3 @ http://wiki.mozilla.org/Unittest:Linux:ITSupport

Nothing about re-creating the directory.

just for posterity's sake, buildbot always creates the directory for you on startup. I'm wondering why this particular machine didn't.
