Actually I just realised, this task ought not to be running at all - in master
we've disabled it under these circumsances. There's also one other fix on
master that you'd benefit from in jethro - I've put them both on this
contrib branch:

  http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=paule/jethro-fixes4

If you could let me know how it works for you that would be great; I'll send
it out soon.

Cheers,
Paul
