[Building Sakai] Guest Site with no My Workspace

[John Leasia]

I wonder if it has something to do with 
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-12672
or http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-12705

Something is preventing the my workspace creation process from 
completing properly.
If you delete a my workspace, it will get  created the next time a user 
logs in. Not sure why it isn't getting created properly the first time, 
if deleting it and re-logging in works properly.
