I've been attempting to test this for docker builds with the command:

koji image-build centos-7-jperrin-test 20141204 atomic7-el7.centos  \
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/ x86_64 \ --release=20141204
--distro RHEL-7.0 --kickstart=/tmp/centos-7.ks \
--format=docker --scratch --nowait --disk-size=10

using the docker kickstart for centos7. After a few minor issues
surrounding the --distro option, I'm now getting an odd failure that I'm
not sure how to debug.

https://cbs.centos.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3424 should be a decent
example.

Thoughts?
