closing as a duplicate of bug 812331. it has been fixed already. the problem is this (as seen in your agent log): 2012-05-03 18:00:47,498 WARN [RHQ Agent Prompt Input Thread] (rhq.core.pc.drift.DriftManager)- Could not create change sets directory data/changesets This is the cause - if you see this, the drift manager will not initialize and no drift will be detected. This used to occur even if you already had that directory in existence. Now, we check if it already exists; if it does, we keep going. If it does not, only then do we try to create it. If we still can't create it, we still fail - but in that case, something really is bad (you should always be able to create that, and if you can't we have no place to store the change sets, so failure is what we want). Get a new build where bug 812331 is fixed and try again. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 812331 ***
