Permission denied -- Lion Server?

[Craig Treleaven]

Hi:

A (potential) user is trying to help with testing a portfile I've 
developed, mythtv-core.25, but we're having a problem.  Originally, 
I've emailed him the Portfile and related support files.  He is 
running Lion Server with the latest MacPorts installed.  He was able 
to install qt4-mac +mysql (a dependency).  When he attempts to 
install Myth, all of Myth's dependencies ARE installed but then it 
aborts with the following error:

Earlier, he was connecting to this machine via Apple Remote Desktop 
and I thought perhaps that was creating the permissions problem.  He 
is now working directly on the box so I think that was a red herring.

Could someone help us figure out was is going wrong?

Thanks,
