Bug 12344

It seems like when we try to build a derivative SDK using command "devtool build-sdk", bitbake failed to locate shared state cache and hence causing failures to set-scene and not producing derivative SDK.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install eSDK via latest installer (2.4)
http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-2.4/toolchain/x86_64/poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-minimal-i586-toolchain-ext-2.4.sh 

2. Source the eSDK environment script.

3. Add the component using "devtool add". We used bbexample.
$ devtool add 'https://github.com/pgyptraining/bbexample.git;rev=55412248fbab1e95a777aa386b3f2c890c105c45'

4. Without changing anything in the configurations and recipe, we started the build using "devtool build-sdk"
$ devtool build-sdk

We would first see meta-emvironment-extsdk-qemux86 having taskhash mismatch.

NOTE: "attempted to execute unexpectedly and should have been setscened" errors indicate this may be caused by missing sstate artifacts that were likely produced in earlier builds, but have been subsequently deleted for some reason.
