I think this is the same issue that I'm running into. The trunk tests are failing with

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/lane/Development/maus/maus/tests/integration/test_utilities/test_execute_against_data/test_execute_against_data.py", line 126, in test_main_success
self.assertTrue(os.path.isfile(file_name), file_name)
AssertionError: 03541_recon.json

In the file tmp/test_batch/downloads.log I see

It appears that the GDML for this run cannot be found.

Actually, the batch script is run in test mode so it should ignore that error. The real error is that the batch script used to make a file called RUN_NUMBER+'_recon.json' or RUN_NUMBER+'_sim.json' - but now the output format is root, I never updated the script. I think I didn't see the bug because the test was being skipped because the data download was failing on my machine (and on the test server)...

anyway, you can ignore the test fail for now and I will fix it when I have time.

Fixed on my machine ...

Fixed now and looks to be okay in trunk also
