First, thank you very much for looking at this!  It’s been on my todo list for 
a while and keeps being bumped off the top.

This looks suspicious.  The path /usr/local/poudriere/ports is a path on your 
host system, but poudriere should be running the build in a jail.

This also looks a bit odd, because this filesystem should be mounted read-only 
in the jail.  The work directory should be somewhere else (a separate zfs or 
tmpfs filesystem that’s destroyed after the build).

It looks as if your poudriere configuration or invocation is wrong.  Could you 
paste the poudriere commands that you used to create the jails and ports tree 
and the testport line?
