Hello, I occur some odd behavior in travis. I removed some files from my repo, commited and pushed a change to git.  
In git I do not longer see a files, but when build is triggered, a files are present inside building directory and that makes a build to crash with error permissions denied. [Build](https://travis-ci.org/github/Tony763/mycroft-homeassistant/builds/722528949)

Please check if the files are there before any of your build logic runs:

```auto
before_install:
   - ls -A test/travis-ci/HA/.storage/
   <all other before_install commands>

```

if not then some of your build logic creates them.
