Do you know how I can tell which tests are ok to skip? And how to skip 
them?
The buildbot page didn't seem to say what tests were actually run, only 
the warnings that occurred.

That should do a little better with the tests. It still fails some, but 
they seem to be the same ones that poll fails also.
