I've run into this myself, but exacerbated by the fact that on my
"master" machine, /usr/{obj,src} are symlinks to /export/FreeBSD/{obj,src}
which are exported to the "slave" systems. Unfortunately, the "slaves"
need _write_ access to the /usr/obj image. I havn't tracked down the
exact details why, but there are a few things that don't seem to
be done /usr/obj untill "install" time. Shouldn't /usr/obj ideally
be read-only during install?
(This all may become moot, as I'm considering going to a master-push
or just a rsync scheme.)
