[Swift-user] gridftp error: Server refused MLST command

[Thomas Uram]

I have a sites file configured to use gridftp as follows:

              <config>
              <pool handle="Bugaboo">
                <execution provider="coaster" jobmanager="ssh-cl:pbs" url="bugaboo.westgrid.ca:22" />
                <gridftp url="gsiftp://bugaboo-fs.westgrid.ca/"/>
                <workdirectory >/home/turam/tmp</workdirectory>
              </pool>
              </config>

When I run this, I routinely get errors like so:

2012-02-07 10:02:07,908-0600 WARN  vdl:transferwrapperlog Failed to transfer wrapper log for job hostname-pmjqoqmk
2012-02-07 10:02:07,908-0600 DEBUG vdl:transferwrapperlog Exception for wrapper log failure from hostname-20120207-1001-sco9qsfa/info/p on Bugaboo: null

Full log is here:  http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~turam/20120207-1015/hostname-20120207-1001-sco9qsfa.log

I found some related discussion (http://lists.ci.uchicago.edu/pipermail/swift-devel/2011-September/009050.html), but no solution was identified.

Two questions:

- Is this a problem in my configuration, or need I take this up with the admins of the gridftp server?
- It's complaining about transferring wrapper logs, but the config file specifies "wrapperlog.always.transfer=false", so should it be even trying?

Thanks,
Tom
