All,

I am wondering if anyone else has been using the deployer script to 
deploy on a remote machine at all recently, and if so if you have 
noticed any problems with it.
I am getting a NullPointerException on an attempt to deploy a plugin 
from one machine to another with

./deploy.sh -u <username> -p <password> --host <hostname here> 
install-plugin <path to plugin>

The similar command works flawlessly locally on the machine I'm trying 
to deploy to. Both machines have the same compiled revision of 
2.1-SNAPSHOT running (590751).

Here's a copy of the error while running ./deploy.sh with the -v option
11:17:09,171 INFO  [Log4jService] 
----------------------------------------------

Anyone else seen this behavior?
