} I'm pretty sure that pkg_* is not up-to-date inside your sandbox.
} Please check again.

     Okay, figured it out.  The step to copy pkg_* from /usr/pkg/sbin
to /usr/sbin was stated to be necessary only if /usr/sbin is first
in $PATH so I hadn't done that.  I was looking at pbulk.conf and
noticed that it said that pkg_* had to be outside ${PREFIX}.  That
was the "ah ha!" Since /usr/sbin is null mounted into the sandbox,
doing the copy fixed pbulk.  Maybe this point should be emphasized
that it is need for pbulk.
