Well a small dent was made in my trouble.
Here is what I found out after just a whole lotta trouble.
It might help someone else.
The Mac that I was attempting to run BuildServer on was my lovely MacAir.
It has the latest OS, now XCODE 8.2.1
If you've come this far you see that the BuildServer.jar was not putting the mobile provisioning files in the proper place but rather left them in the B4iBuildServer folder.
I of course had no idea what files should be where.
I decided to borrow another Mac (a MacBook Pro). Ran the java-jar thing and looked into the folder. Inoticed the B4i.mobileprovision file was not there, in fact several of the files were apparently placed elsewhere on the mac hard drive.
But I now get no error compiles and can get on with my work.
Why doesn't the jar unpacking thing work properly on the MacAir?
I don't know, maybe JAVA, maybe not all Macs are created equal or some other reason.
I'll let others contemplate the nuts and bolts.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to stop by to read and/or post.
The effort was appreciated.
