make distribution halts during install (7.1Prerelease today)

[Dewayne Geraghty]

The "make distribution" phase of a full build of 7.1 Prerelease, sourced today (Mon Dec  1 10:34:45 UTC 2008), unfortunately failed.

make distribution DESTDIR=/differentplace 
failed (see below), however the following worked ok: buildkernel, installkernerl, buildworld, installworld. Two systems (a Uni and Dual processor) were used and both failed at the same point.  Both building systems were successful in building/installing kernel and world for themselves and for a different DESTDIR (per the Handbook).  Only the make distribution failed (a clue?)

The repeated attempts to make distribution DESTDIR=X failed at the same location (see below). The error message suggestions incorrect parameters to "install".  Advise/guidance welcome.

I also tried various CPUTYPES to ensure that all parameters to make, were populated.  Having spent most of the day building kernels/worlds and gstripping, gjournalling and building a lot of ports, the package is looking pretty good.  I hope that my explanation is concise it's been a long day and I'm stuck.
