Ant doesnt build Liferay Themes correctly (no '_diffs' applied)

Question

I am using hudson to remotely checkout, build and deploy my Liferay 6.1.2 project to tomcat. This worked fine until recently I added new themes. Now it seems all themes get built and deployed correctly but when I open up the website I mostly only see the parent themes without all the modification that was inside the "_diffs" folder.

If I build them on another computer the wars is generated as it should.

Developer mode is disabled.

Does someone have an idea what could be the problem?

If you're using ant to build, take a look at files in the root of your plugins-sdk. You can override the settings in build.properties (don't change that file) in one of build.${username}.properties or build.${hostname}.properties

Determine what user hudson runs as and configure the file appropriately. Or just use the hostname and configure that one. Also, if you ever ran the build as a different user, make sure that hudson has write access to the files/directories that potentially are owned by another user
