First, your ./src is a symlink but it should be a directory. Second, mtree doesn't fully understand symlinks, so it doesn't check the tree under ./src and it prints a stupid error message. The 2 lines of messages about `local' is caused by a bug in the database. /usr/local should probably be specified as being owned by root.wheel in both BSD.usr.dist and BSD.local.dist. Bruce
