I don't think this is to do with those files (they are in the files subdir as 
you point out, and they will be found there via FILESPATH; this is automatic). 
If it's contacting the server and failing, it's the URI pointing to that 
server or some other problem relating to that operation. You're not behind 
some kind of firewall that blocks the git protocol are you?

Also, from one of your earlier emails:
> SRC_URI = "git:///home/twoods/local;protocol=file;branch=master"

I don't think this is what you want. Just use file://<full path> if you want to 
point it to a local location. But I'm not sure that's what you really want 
here either.

That won't work - you have no space between the first URI and the next. Fix 
that, and assuming your network allows access to remote git repos, that should 
work.

You can double check what SRC_URI bitbake is going to use by running this:

bitbake -e matchbox-keyboard | grep ^SRC_URI

Could you also remind me what DISTRO you are using?

Cheers,
Paul
