Hi!

I can't see how this refers to the PR you're pointing too?
The problem described in PR was due to portupgrade creating
database files with wrong permissions, which was fixed in
portupgrade-devel.  Your problem seems to be irrelevant to
portupgrade at all, or am I missing something?

On the side not, please, show the output of mount command
and ls -la /usr/ports on the server, which mounts that directory
via NFS.  I suspect there's something wrong here.
