abcl-0.18.1 is not going to work with ASDF2.  You currently need
to compile ABCL from a post svn r12551 commit.  The necessary fixes
have been backported to the upcoming  (any day now) abcl-0.19
release.

The specific bug you are encountering involves abcl-0.18.1 not being
able to handle the renaming of a FASL, as ASDF2 compiles to
"asdf-tmp.XXX" and then renames to "asdf-<LISP_IMPLEMENTATION>.XXX".
Rather embaressing for us, really, so [we fixed it fast][1]
