Since you're running build.sh with -U (UNPRIVED), you should run the
installworld with the same option, so that the build system knows to
Do The Right Thing with permissions from the info stored in
$DESTDIR/METALOG.

To make things easier, I'd just change your installation routine to:
	# yyy/bin/nbmake-`uname -m` UPDATE=1 installworld

I.e, run "$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$MACHINE" with "UPDATE=1 installworld".
As nbmake-$MACHINE is a shell script wrapper to $TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake
which contains the various settings from the last time you ran build.sh,
it already has the settings for DESTDIR, TOOLDIR, UNPRIVED, (...)


You could simplify things even more by using "-u" with build.sh; then
you don't need "UPDATE=1" on installworld commandline.

You're welcome; I'm glad that it helps!
