A silly question, perhaps, but have you created the jobdir? buildbot
doesn't do that for you.

2 things to be aware of here:

1) I believe that an absolute path to the jobdir is required. Example
from the buildbot installation     where I use try: try_dir =
'/ocean/dlatorne/buildbot/master/jobdir'

2) The try_jobdir spelling of that option is new in the current dev
version of buildbot (i.e. a clone of the git repo) as of a couple of
months ago. For 0.8.3p1 and older the spelling is try_dir.
