To make debugging failures easier, we should seperate out the sync job from the test run job. Apparently fixing bug 976687 will make this much easier, so let's do that first.
Once we can specify a path for the dashboard, we should then be able to archive this as an artifact. We can then create a new job for the sync, and use the Copy Artifact plugin to grab the latest dashboard and publish it via SSH. This will have the advantage of archiving the dashboard (so it's less volatile), and allows the job to be safely rerun without needing to run all of the tests. This sync job can then also be configured to run whenever the test job is completed.

Without an inari or pointgrey camera any changes I make here are very difficult to test. I've raised bug 980367 which would allow us to test this without a camera, and have an open request for a replacement inari. I could try making the changes directly on the eideticker-london box, but depending on how urgent this is, I'd prefer to wait for the above mentioned issues to be resolved.

This is not a good first bug. It needs to be done rather urgently.

After some more thought, I'm not sure this is a good approach. While we have a single test job we could have a single sync job, but once we have multiple test jobs (for alternate devices, etc) then management will get a little difficult. What I propose instead is that we resolve bug 979498 by using the sync_dashboard.sh script, and if we need to rerun the sync we can remote into the Jenkins node and execute that script independently. In bug 979498 I will also make the dashboard available as an archived artifact, which means it will be possible to download, extract, and sync the dashboard if desired.
