Great, I haven't tried to run it but at quick glance this looks like
your doing most of main steps that are needed to mimic CI, I haven't
seen anything that is obviously missing what kind of differences are
you seeing in the results when compared to CI?

So, I think the problem with reproduce.sh is that nobody in tripleo
has ever used it, and as a result toci_gate_test.sh and
toci_instack.sh just aren't compatible with it, I'd suggest we change
the the toci_* scripts so that they play nice together. I'll see if I
can give it a whirl over the next few days and see what problem we're
likely to hit.
