Welcome to the Splat alpha!

What version are you running?
RBTools 0.4.1
Reviewboard: 1.6.4.1cd /


What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
Command line


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. using a perforce repository, and a changelist
   did: post-review --server=http://cmweb5.cadence.com/reviews 77800


2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
We expected a diff to be attached to the review request.
The review requested was created in reviewboard, but the 
diff did not get attach..

We got the following output:
Error uploading diff

The generated diff file was empty. This usually means no files were
modified in this change.

Try running with --output-diff and --debug for more information.

Your review request still exists, but the diff is not attached.

I then re-ran it with the --output-diff option. The diff is created,
and we piped it to a diff file.

We then tried to use the --diff-file option, this gave us a Errno 13 
error.

We then tried the --debug option and got the following output:
post-review --debug --server=http://cmweb5.cadence.com/reviews 77800

======
This indicates some kind of filesystem permission error. I
just can't figure out where it's trying to write to.

I have verified all paths are writable in the install /var/www
area. 

I also tried uninstalling and re-installing ReviewBoard 1.6.4.1

So far, I'm stuck. 

This did work in in the 1.6 version we were previously using.

Any help would be appreciated.
