Asp.Net aspparse circular reference error only on command line build

I have an Asp.Net website project that builds fine locally with VS2010 and from the command line with msbuild. The problem is its failing on our build server (CruiseControl.net) with this circular file reference issue

  /tms/_master/help.master(1): error ASPPARSE: Circular file references are not allowed. [C:\ccnet\working\master\Tms.Rms.Website\tms.metaproj]
  /tms/_master/reporting-detail.master(2): error ASPPARSE: Circular file references are not allowed. [C:\ccnet\working\master\Tms.Rms.Website\tms.metaproj]
  /tms/_master/mvc.master(1): error ASPPARSE: Circular file references are not allowed. [C:\ccnet\working\master\Tms.Rms.Website\tms.metaproj]

I don't see anything obvious about the way pages/folders/or controls are laid out as suggested in other questions related to this error, and I have zero feedback from VS2010 locally as it doesn't have the problem at all. (it builds ok)

Anyone know how I can track this issue down locally, or what may be the cause of different build results between machines?

Local build environment: vs2010, msbuild 4.0, building as myself Build server environment: msbuild 4.0, building as ccnet service account (no vs2010 installed or available)

I also have the same version of ccnet setup locally with he same configuration building successfully.

It's worth noting that the circular reference errors above seem to occur on "nested" master pages with the MasterPageFile attribute. e.g.

<%@ Master MasterPageFile="~/_master/base.master" CodeFile="help.master.cs" Inherits="_master_help" %>
