That looks like it's the 'rm -rf' command that's failing, and that it isn't
even getting to the phase where it runs p4. Is there any chance that the
directory is owned by someone other than the user running the buildslave?
Permissions problems? (the 'build' directory won't exist the first time this
gets run.. the '-f' flag should make sure that this isn't a problem).

The usual sequence should be:

  rm -rf .../build
  p4 sync  (in .../source)
  cp -r .../source .../build

Yup, this is as much information as you can get. The blue lines are
"headers", produced by the build slave to describe the command it is running,
while the rest are coming from the command itself (both stdout and stderr).
