It looks like this is due to its not being updated for the buildtmp 
reshuffle.  It also looks like specifying any test logfile as a target 
works to copy it to the buildtmp instance, but that doesn't work for 
regress-driver itself.  So the current workaround is:

        scons <options> build-all test/daemon/*.log*
        cp -p regress-driver buildtmp/

There's nothing that lists all the possible targets, though grepping for 
'env.Alias' will give you a pretty good idea. :-)
