If you look in /usr/bin/sign on build.eclipse.org, you'll see this:

   VALIDLOCATION=$(echo "$DIR" | egrep -c 
"(\/opt\/public\/download-staging.priv\/|\/home\/data\/httpd\/download-staging.priv)")

So, yes, you need to run from a staging.priv dir. But rather than use 
eclipse/, we use the appropriate folder for our project.

       <property name="java15-home" value="/opt/sun-java2-5.0" />
       <property name="stagingHome" 
value="/home/data/httpd/download-staging.priv" />
       <property name="projectPath" value="modeling/emf" />
       <!-- user with write perms in staging dir & permission to run 
/usr/bin/sign -->
       <property name="buildServerUser" value="nickb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" />
       <property name="sign" value="true" />

We use ${stagingHome}/${projectPath}, which changes depending on who's 
signing (modeling/mdt, modeling/gmf, etc.)

       <property name="stagingDirectory" 
value="${stagingHome}/${projectPath}" />
       <property name="stagingDirectoryOutput" 
value="${stagingDirectory}/${buildId}-out" />
       <property name="outputFile" 
value="${stagingDirectoryOutput}/${masterZip}" />

then

       <!--invoke sign script and wait-->
       <echo-timestamp />
       <echo message="invoke sign script and wait" />
       <exec dir="." executable="ssh" output="signing.txt" append="true">
           <arg line="${buildServerUser} &quot;cd ${stagingDirectory}; 
/usr/bin/sign ${stagingDirectory}/${masterZip} ${mailStatus} 
${stagingDirectoryOutput}&quot;" />
       </exec>

The /usr/bin/sign script handles creation of the stagingDirectoryOutput 
dir.

       echo "WARNING: $3 is not a valid directory. Creating."
       mkdir -p $3

The stagingDirectory dir has to exist beforehand because that's where 
you scp the zip to begin the process.
