I also seem to have this problem, and the log file is no help.
ERROR (ADEXL-5025): Preparation to run the simulation is failed for the run Interactive.1, point 1, test RNG:default_ell_filter:1, received error:
Error:
------------------------------
Error while preparing to run the simulation.
Cannot copy "netlist into run netlist" from "/root/simulation/RNG/default_ell_filter/default_ell_view/results/data/Interactive.1/1/RNG:default_ell_filter:1/netlist" to "/root/simulation/RNG/default_ell_filter/default_ell_view/results/data/Interactive.1/psf/RNG:default_ell_filter:1/netlist", cpDataDir call returned 0
For details open log: /home/rguerra/logs_root/Job2.log for the point: (1 1)

For more details, consult the job log file:

However, when I go and take a look at the log, there is no helpful information there. Perhaps this error number means something to someone somewhere. I would normally associate a return value of 0 to be a good sign, but it seems that isn't the case here. Virtuoso is run as root with root permissions.
