Sorry, but i don't understand you :).
I just localize the problem. It looks like a
race in portmaster. As i understand it tries
to do something in a directory (f.e. WORKDIR)
or some temporary directory that it creates,
that no longer exists. So this causes this
error. Or you believe this is some user failure?
