Osmosis uses the ivy tool for dependency management:
http://ant.apache.org/ivy/

It creates an .ivy2 directory in your home directory.  This contains a 
number of sub-directories which are manipulated by ivy during the 
dependency resolution process.  I have a few suggestions on how to progress.
* Find out why ivy thinks your home directory is "/root", that is most 
likely the problem.  I assume you're not running the build as root.
* Run "ant resolve" which will force ivy to perform dependency 
resolution to be performed.
* Run "ant clean-cache" which will clean up the ivy directory if 
something has gotten corrupted (I've never had to do this).
