The first failure is like so:

Exception thrown: RaidFileException(FileIsDamagedNotRecoverable) at RaidFileRead.cpp(1420)
FAILURE: Condition [list_matches(names, file_list1)] failed at testraidfile.cpp(840)

Looks very likely that the failure is due to the raidfile store being
corrupted. This sounds pretty serious and I think the only thing there
is going to be get in and debug it.

I'm not sure, but I'd guess at the raidfile failure being a possible
root cause of these other two tests. In particular the bbackupd one
seems to demonstrate that the store just doesn't work at all.

Cheers,
