tfsbuild

I have a tfs build that works fine on the client, but when executed on the server, no actual binaries get created.

When I go to the folder: \[MyServer]\builds[BuildName], I see BuildLog.txt
ErrorsWarningsLog.txt
Release.txt

I expect to see a big

\Release

folder full of my dlls, but I get nothing.

The error log reports no problems up until we ask the build to copy the binaries to our staging server. If I comment those out, I get no errors.

CustomizableOutDir is true, DropLocation is set to something sensible BuildDirectoryPath is set to something sensible

But no matter what, I just don't get any dlls built. Our local TFS guy is baffled too. Any suggestions?
