[Swift-user] kickstart.xml transfer error

[lixi at uchicago.edu]

Hi,

When running a swift program with kickstart file transfer 
turned on (kickstart.always.transfer=true), I encounter the 
following errors:

But finally, I can still get the kickstart.xml files under 
my directory where issued the swift command.

Could you tell me why I encountered such errors and how to 
fix them?

Thanks a lot!
