I think I fixed the above errors for the Fedora box. Based on the 
description in

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/140814/biblatex-biber-fails-with-a-strange-error-about-missing-recode-data-xml-file

I removed the "/tmp/par-*" folders, and biber seems to work again 
(versions of biber and biblatex match locally).
In the next days, I'll let another pull request follow to get my 
Buildslaves "green" again....

Regards,

Dirk
