Build fails with: The binary form of an ACE object is invalid

I can't seem to get team builds to work at all. They fail with "The binary form of an ACE object is invalid" but, there's no indication of which ACL has an invalid ACE. Any ideas?

The complete log is:

The issue is with setting the ACL for the drop location, so you should start by checking out the ACL entries there (in the parent - \\MVP\Cmn\Kits\Checkin). If these seem OK, then the issue must be with adding FullControl permissions for the service account(s), which is done by the UpdateBuildNumberDropLocation task. My guess here would be some sort of issue with a service account, though I have not run into the issue you are seeing.

Hope this helps get you started.

The ACLs on \\MVP\Cmn\Kits\Checkin looked fine. I think it might be related to DFS, I created a non-DFS share and the build is working.

Thanks!

FYI I tried using a DFS share and didn't run into any issues. Any chance your DFS share (the target of the relevant link, that is) is on a non-NTFS file system?
