For the do_install failure, the ${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}/home directory has
to exist. If it does from a previous build, the xuser-account will build
correctly. If home/ doesn't exist it will fail with the error. Its
similar to a "mkdir" verses "mkdir -p" issue.

I don't know what the second build-appliance failure is due to.
