A problem with pkg.refcount might be that files in that directory
contain absolute pathnames starting with /var/db/pkg. E.g.:

$ cat /var/db/pkg.refcount/groups/mail/cyrus-sasl-2.1.27nb1 
/var/db/pkg/cyrus-sasl-2.1.27nb1

$ cat /var/db/pkg.refcount/files/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.32.0/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini/p5-XML-SAX-1.02 
/var/db/pkg/p5-XML-SAX-1.02

$ cat /var/db/pkg.refcount/users/smmsp/sendmail-8.15.2nb9 
/var/db/pkg/sendmail-8.15.2nb9
