hmmm... this give me no joy... mtree complains about the paths all missing,
but does not create them. I can create files and directories in /usr/local
manually.

## Creating a file in /usr/local
$touch test
$ls /usr/local/
test

$df -h
Filesystem             Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a            1.9G    480M    1.3G    26%    /

/dev/da0s1d            4.8G     99M    4.4G     2%    /var

## Creating a directory in /usr/local
$mkdir test-dir
$ls /usr/local
test            test-dir

## editing the "test" file...
$md5 -s "/usr/local" > test

$cat test
MD5 ("/usr/local") = ecb11dda71a57ccdbf63675d24260fe6

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
