You forgot to "cvs up" your "common" directory. As a result, you've
submitted a .fc6 build request for development, resulting in _two_ (!)
src.rpms and .fc7 binary rpms:

http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/plague-results/fedora-development-extras/jd/1.8.0-0.2.beta061023.fc7/SRPM/

Rest assured, a few other packagers have run into the same trap.

While the push script is smart in some areas, it doesn't expect more than
one src.rpm per build-job, because build-job results are stored in unique
sub-directories.

I'm not sure yet how to work around that (adding EVR sorting and other
overhead sounds wrong to me). You know, we already prune old build results
from the needsign queue and only push the latest EVR. The easiest fix is:

"Packagers, submit proper build-jobs!"
