OK, now I know what's going on. I just don't know why. The immutable flag was set on all these files, if you clear it cpio will happily copy them to the new directory. I'm guessing it's a change in how the installation copies the files with the schg intact, I ran into a discussion about that from 2008. The original FreeSBIE scripts were based on FBSD 6.2 and maybe never ran into this issue. I don't quite get why this works this way though. I understand the immutable flag will keep the file itself from being changed, deleted or moved. But I don't see in any documentation that the immutable flag will not allow a file to be copied. I did note that when using the 'cp' command it cleared the immutable bit on the new file instead of keeping it, but at least it makes the copy.
