My Build Server has been running just fine for a couple months and then this week we started getting this problem (see below).
It's almost certainly a permission problem, but no one in IT will admit to having changed a permission somewhere.
Also, it's trying to publish a log file to a location that doesn't exist!
to '#/416/logs/msbuild/agent-2'
If I knew where this location was, I would happily fix it or turn this specific publish off. All the other logs are present and accessible (obviously I'm able to view the log of these errors).
using Visual Studio 2013 & TFS2013.
This is the same issue, but changing the drop folders didn't fix it: TFS Error publishing log files to #/198/logs/msbuild/agent-2

Update 12/29/2015
I've been able to confirm with IT that our main TFS instance was updated to 2013 Update 5. Our build server is running TFS 2013 Update 4. My next priority will be getting the build server updated.
