Do you have $sbuild_mode="buildd" in sbuild.conf?  It might not
find the "current" symlink otherwise.  Also, do you have a
~build/build/build-progress file?  Does the content of
build-progress make sense?  It should tell you what it's
currently doing, and on which package; does this package log
exist in ~buildd/logs?

Proper support for running multiple sbuild instances needs adding
to buildd itself.  I did some work on this, but it wasn't merged
(wasn't complete and bug-free) and will need rebasing.
