If that file is a working copy that has not been refreshed from the SCM, then problems can ensue. I recall that someone mentioned specifying a relative path like this: <relativePath/> ...and that that was the only way to force Maven to truly resolve the pom from the repository, but I don't know if this is in fact true.
