The problems you're seeing are being caused by the fact that your
/opt mountpoint is not empty. You'll need to temporaily mount
rpool/ROOT/opensolaris/opt, copy everything out of /opt into it,
clean everything out of /opt and remount rpool/ROOT/opensolaris/opt
into it's proper place.

Once this is done you shouldn't see these issues anymore.
