Several.  I've fixed them though.

The root cause of the problm was twofold.

1) gnetlist was being called  as "gnetlist" instead of 
"$(top_builddir)/src/gnetlist" in a couple of places.  I had a very old 
gnetlist in my PATH.

2) gnetlist was looking in the *install* location for its scheme files 
instead of in the source tree for some (but not all) tests.  There were 
scheme files in the install location that were moderately out of date.

Oh, and the last one was I didn't have pcb installed in the path that 
gnetlist thought it should be for PCBboard.

The one thing I ran into is that there is still a problem if building 
outside the source tree since a couple of the scheme files get generated 
as build time.  The implication is we need to teach gnetlist how do deal 
with a scheme search path instead of a single directory or I need to 
teach the build system to copy all the $(top_srcdir)/scheme files over 
to $(top_builddir)/scheme (if srcdir != builddir).
