Looks like file flags (noschg). See if you can
apply "chflags noschg" for that directory and
maybe try again?

Should be something like this (on 8.2-STABLE/i386 here):

% ll -do /var/empty
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  schg 512 2012-05-27 06:15:34 /var/empty/
                           ^^^^
                    Probably noschg?
