The symptom is that when trying to build a checked out package against the 
nightly, it fails because it cannot find the include files from the 
installation area. A typical output is

cd ../i686-rh73-gcc32-dbg/; g++ -c -I"/InstallArea/include/PathResolver" 
-I"/afs/cern.ch/atlas/software/dist/nightlies/rel/atlrel_5/AtlasCxxPolicy/A
tlasCxxPolicy-00-00-06" -I"/afs/cern.ch/atlas/software/dist/

1) Why this happens
-------------------
  The typical situation is when you work area is defined in a directory 
path containing at least one symlink

  Eg in my home directory I have a short cut d86 that points to /afs/cern.ch/atlas/maxidisk/d86

  If I set the first item of CMTPATH to $HOME/d86 then the problem shows up.

2) Workaround
-------------

  If your work area is organized this way (ie with a symlink) please:

  prepend your CMTPATH with the explicit physical path (ie with symlink resolved)

eg: using my work area in d86

I have to explicitly specify

path_prepend CMTPATH "/afs/cern.ch/atlas/maxidisk/d86"

instead of:

path_prepend CMTPATH "${HOME}/d86"
