I can't take care of this this week, so I'll just give you the pointers:
The following lines in kern/vfs_nlookup.c are probably causing your issue. this
is called from many points, including from kern_mkdir to check if a directory
already exists. If nlookup returns EPERM, kern_mkdir just returns that.


    471             /*
    472              * Fast-track termination.  There is no parent directory of
    473              * the root in the same mount from the point of view of
    474              * the caller so return EPERM if NLC_REFDVP is specified.
    475              * e.g. 'rmdir /' is not allowed.
    476              */
    477             if (*ptr == 0) {
    478                 if (nd->nl_flags & NLC_REFDVP)
    479                         error = EPERM;
    480                 else
    481                         error = 0;
    482                 break;
    483             }
    484             continue;


Cheers,
