Errors
You cannot have a "Validate publication object" task step in a task that also has a "Release publication" task step or a "Publish publication object" task step (for the same Publication Object). The reason is that the "Validate" operation could change the Publish Directory that is essential for the "Release" or "Publish" operation. UDeliver can propagate this value change when it re-checks the task, but not within one and the same run of the task.
