No, I'm still struggling to understand why it did not work. It is even
more disappointing becasue some months ago I evaluated buildbot to see
if it fitted our needs, and at the time I was able to run a full build
in a win32 slave :(

The only difference here seems to be python (I'm using 2.4.4). Just a
question: where is the buildslave directory in your filesystem?

Same here :)

strange. The current version (which I'm using) is 2.4.0, though I do
not believe the buildmaster could be my problem

Is this not from the fedora extras repo? Any particular reason for this?
