I'm afraid I can't reproduce this and I don't really understand why it's 
failing. I just tried a clean working copy and everything builds fine for 
me.

Does your makefile contain exactly the following lines?

--- CUT ---
parcels/boxbackup-trunk_2461M-backup-client-linux-gnu/bbackupd.8.gz: 
docs/man/bbackupd.8.gz
         mkdir -p parcels/boxbackup-trunk_2461M-backup-client-linux-gnu
         cp -p docs/man/bbackupd.8.gz 
parcels/boxbackup-trunk_2461M-backup-client-linux-gnu

.PHONY: docs/man/bbackupd.8.gz
docs/man/bbackupd.8.gz: docs/bb-man.xsl
         (cd docs; $(MAKE) bbackupd.8)
--- CUT ---

And if you remove docs/man/bbackupd.8.gz and make it again with "make 
docs/man/bbackupd.8.gz", does that work?

Cheers, Chris.
