Also... How are you connecting over ssh? Is it a key without a
passphrase, or do you use agent forwarding, perhaps?  Are the
buildmaster and buildslaves using different private keys (I assume so)?
 Have you tried manually doing a checkout as the buildmaster, to see if
it's a key verification prompt?
