pkg-plist problems

[Paul Schmehl]

I'm working on a new port, and I'm having a strange problem with pkg-plist. 
I created pkg-plist per the instructions in Chapter 19 of the Porters 
Handbook.  When I run make deinstall PREFIX=/var/tmp/port-name, the 
deinstall complains that the files in $DOCSDIR don't exist.  Yet they do.

Here's the error I'm getting (in part):

pkg_delete: file '/var/tmp/sguild/share/doc/sguil-sensor' doesn't really 
exist
pkg_delete: unable to completely remove directory 
'/var/tmp/sguild/share/doc/sguil-sensor'
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package (perhaps the packing list is
incorrectly specified?)

As you can see, the directory is gone:
 ls /var/tmp/sguild/share/doc/
ja

After running make install PREFIX=
 make install PREFIX=/var/tmp/sguild

As you can see, the directory is there:
ls /var/tmp/sguild/share/doc/
ja              sguil-sensor

And so are the docs:
ls /var/tmp/sguild/share/doc/sguil-sensor/
CHANGES         INSTALL.openbsd OPENSSL.README  USAGE
INSTALL         LICENSE.QPL     TODO            sguildb.dia

Here's the pkg-plist:
 less pkg-plist
bin/sguil-sensor/log_packets.sh
bin/sguil-sensor/log_packets.sh-sample
bin/sguil-sensor/sensor_agent.tcl
etc/rc.d/sensoragent.sh

share/doc/sguil-sensor/sguildb.dia
share/nls/POSIX
share/nls/en_US.US-ASCII
@dirrm share/doc/sguil-sensor
@dirrm bin/sguil-sensor

Everything is being installed and deleted correctly, but the deinstall 
generates the above errors.

What the heck is going on?
