Hi Andreas,

It just occurred to me: here nixbld1 and nixbld10 have the same UID,
which is wrong.  Can you check whether the others have a different UID?

Here I have:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
nixbld1:x:30001:30000:Nix build user 
1:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
nixbld2:x:30002:30000:Nix build user 
2:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
nixbld3:x:30003:30000:Nix build user 
3:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
nixbld4:x:30004:30000:Nix build user 
4:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
nixbld5:x:30005:30000:Nix build user 
5:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
nixbld6:x:30006:30000:Nix build user 
6:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
nixbld7:x:30007:30000:Nix build user 
7:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
nixbld8:x:30008:30000:Nix build user 
8:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
nixbld9:x:30009:30000:Nix build user 
9:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
nixbld10:x:30010:30000:Nix build user 
10:/var/empty:/run/current-system/sw/sbin/nologin
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You should fix it with something like:

  for b in `seq 1 10`; do usermod -u `expr 30000 + $b` nixbld$b ; done

Crossing fingers...
