bitbake problem

Once upon a time I could get bitbake to work!  Now, however, it fails to run to completion.

It complains about a "parsing error".  It should not even know about the directory "~/from_T30_jad/extracted/home/........

Any ideas about what might be going on?


the GUMSTIX-related output of 'env'  gives:

GUMSTIXBRANCH=/home/jdoutt/gumstix/gumstix-oe/com.gumstix.collection

the output from 'bitbake' is:
