What was the method used to upgrade host system and jail? Did you used 
freebsd-update or make installworld?

This means you don't have /usr/src so the mergemaster cannot make files 
in /var/tmp/temproot because these files are created from /usr/src

So make sure you have mounted /usr/src/ with source files for current 
version of the system (the version you need to update to) and then try this

cd /usr/src
mergemaster -F -v -i -P -U -t /var/tmp/mergemaster/anu_6002 -d -D 
/jails/anu_6002
