No, it is stored in the mtt-versions directory for just that reason. You should have an entry like the following in your .ini file:

#======================================================================
# MPI get phase
#======================================================================

[MPI get: ompi-nightly-trunk]
mpi_details = Open MPI

module = OMPI_Snapshot
ompi_snapshot_url = http://www.open-mpi.org/nightly/trunk
ompi_snapshot_version_file = /home/common/mtt-versions/trunk&getenv("MTT_VERSION_FILE_SUFFIX").txt

#----------------------------------------------------------------------

# Get the 1.7 nightly

[MPI get: ompi-nightly-v1.7]
mpi_details = Open MPI

module = OMPI_Snapshot
ompi_snapshot_url = http://www.open-mpi.org/nightly/v1.7
ompi_snapshot_version_file = /home/common/mtt-versions/v1.7&getenv("MTT_VERSION_FILE_SUFFIX").txt

#----------------------------------------------------------------------

Note the "snapshot_version_file" entry where the version gets stored

This should not happen. It likely indicates that multiple MTT clients are incorrectly operating in the same scratch tree. at /zhome/academic/HLRS/hlrs/hpcmtt/mtt-trunk/lib/MTT/Messages.pm line 131.
