I suggested those flags to help you figure out your problem.
As I said before without a test case and/or more of your code, it's not easy (or maybe even possible) to help you resolve this issue.

So if a small test case doesn't replicated the issue, for example a SConstruct, and two SConscripts, one producing a list of files into an env variable, the other installing them somewhere doesn't replicate your issue and does work,  then you should look at your code to see how it's different from the small test case.  Likely that's where the error is.
Are you sure your have your Import()'s and Export()'s right?
How are you invoking your SConscripts..
