I installed portsnap via "portinstall portsnap" and 0.9.2 was installed. When I enter "/usr/local/portsnap fetch" I get: /usr/local/portsnap: permission denied ls -l shows: dwrxwrxwrx 2 root wheel (I chmod'd to get that - it was dwr-wr-wr-) and in the portsnap dir there is a single file: .package.this.directory.
