The log is as follows:

ODK-Briefcase-v1.16.3-81-g0e0ee285.jar works great though.

I'm not sure what's going on, @yanokwa. Did you run another recent version of Briefcase by any chance? Maybe the one from master before merging on that storage directory #807?

Your stacktrace points to a problem with your metadata.json files. Before #807, we encoded a storageDirectory property with the absolute path to the form's directory. After #807, we encode a formDir with a relative directory.

Could you send me your sd or find the metadata.json file and attach it here?

[yanokwa]

Yup, I had an old version from master. I removed all the metadata.json files and reran it with the beta and all is well.

Cool, thanks!
