Taking the reboot out of the equation with the normal process doesn't 
make a difference however using env -i doe thus it must be a setting. 
Can I safely rm /ust/testdir without anything breaking now?

When I run cvsup it uses a specific supfile anyway that has much the 
same settings, I think the ones in make.conf are there for one of my 
nightly port updating scripts.
Adding the options you have mentioned to make.conf however made no 
difference to the installworld error.

Thus I started playing I took out the following which make it work:

#PERL_VERSION=5.8.9
#BATCH=YES
#CRYPT_DES=0
#WITHOUT_ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX=YES

Take your pick as to which one it was but I thought I'd post back so 
anyone else having the problem can look into it. Its a bit odd that 
moving make.conf aside didn't work though so there must be some other 
stuff in make.conf that is also required to prevent the problem..

Thanks for all the help folks! Now on to the ports...
