I also receive an error if I define a build directory or build machine.
When including a build directory (drop location) the command line generated includes a "/d:<path to drop location>" parameter which the team build does not recognise. In looking at the comment line options for TFSBuild.exe 2008, I see a /dl: listed for drop location.

According to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181742.aspx, /droplocation can be abbreviated as /d. If the documentation is wrong, a workaround would be to clear out the Build directory field and add the /dl: flag to the Additional options field on the Options tab.

Adding a build machine option generates an /m:<buildMachingName> parameter on teh comment line, for which there is no apparent equivelent in TFSBuild 2008.

Only Team Build 2005 supports that field/flag. Maybe this is stored in the build definition in 2008?
