Chris,
Can you check the versions of geometry you have installed on each, like
this:
{{{
tail -1 `rosstack find geometry`/CMakeLists.txt
}}}
To get something like this
{{{
rosbuild_make_distribution(1.1.8)
}}}

Also on all the machines can you run make test in the tf package and make
sure they all pass? Or "rosmake -t tf" and make sure that it passes too.
