Still haven't touched my configuration from this morning; I'll step
through your suggestions one by one here.

I'm seeing my checkout happening successfully.  After that, I have the
following error:

This looks like 2 issues - I'm missing a version file, and I'm
attempting to send email and failing.  The second I expected.

Right now I don't have a tags directory set up for my project.  Should
I, to make anthill happy here?

Done.

My build.xml is in the root of what I'm checking out.  My repository
is at http://127.0.0.1:8080/Repos/Production/ and the project I'm
checking out is at Code/LeaseGen/trunk/webapp .  build.xml is in the
webapp directory.

With all the above changes made, I have the following at the end of stdout.log:

Checked out revision 42.
15:20:18:859 [Thread - AnthillBuildDaemon] INFO 
com.urbancode.anthill.BuildManager  - step 2) is project up to date?

15:20:20:281 [Thread - AnthillBuildDaemon] INFO

So it looks like anthill think I don't need to actually build anything.
