Hello Lowell,
Thank you very much.
I was going crazy trying different combinations of options and script 
logic. I want to thank you for taking my problem seriously and taking 
the time to do your own test cases to verify my findings. Now that I 
know it's a genuine bug in mtree, I can make my plans accordingly. Any 
fix to the mtree utility will take some time to filter down to a regular 
RELEASE. Maybe 9.2 or the big jump to 10.0 by the end of 2013. I will 
leave it up to you the file a PR on this and follow through.
Thanks again, people like you are what makes this questions list so 
valuable and FreeBSD such a great OS. You did outstanding work.

Joe
