Ubuntu loop: exited with zero status but no 'finished' file
Installed the BOINC manager, and then told it to connect to www.worldcommunitygrid.org. This seems to work, and it asks me to log in. Then it seems to load a work unit, but starts looping with the following error messages. Condition has been the same for several months, on several machines with the last two releases of Ubuntu. (I was able to get another project to work, though I've already forgotten which one it was, but officially we're only encouraged to run WCG here.) I have (of course) tried resetting the project, but it doesn't help. Same loop results.

It is usually safe to ignore this message. Search the wiki for more info.

Re: Ubuntu loop: exited with zero status but no 'finished' file
If your machine is cycling, it usually means you have a serious hardware failure, or a software conflict. I assume (from the messages you posted) that BOINC is never completing any work.

Do you have some diagnostics you can run? Does this only affect FAAH? Try changing your preferences to get Genome Comparison work, then abort the current unit.

Re: Ubuntu loop: exited with zero status but no 'finished' file
No hardware failures, no sign of software conflicts or failures, and as I noted, it works with at least a couple of other BOINC projects. Also it seems unreasonable to ignore it, since it repeats the loop at high frequency and definitely does not appear to be getting anything done...

Re: Ubuntu loop: exited with zero status but no 'finished' file
Yes, you mustn't ignore it! You can ignore it only if it happens now and then. Clearly something is wrong.

Please will you let us see the stderr text for this work unit (it should have been redirected to a file somewhere). If we see the error I expect to see, then it is most likely a software issue.
