 I have upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and need to upgrade MacPorts to run Gwyddion.
 Installing Xcode and the latest version of MacPorts went fine.  Updating
 the ports went fine.  When I tried to get the ports 'updraded' I received
 the following error:

 Error: Unable to upgrade port: symlink:
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/databases/db46/work
 ->
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_databases_db46/db46/work:
 permission denied

 I have admin privileges on this machine. Any suggestions as to what might
 be the issue?
