This last thing suggests to me that perhaps you aren't changing the same 
metadata that the build system is building, because changing PR absolutely 
should trigger a recipe being rebuilt. Silly question, but you don't by chance 
have two copies of the metadata or two packagegroup recipes with the same 
name?
