non-root user fixed, but "port clean" fails

[Stephan]

Hi Bryan.
Thanks for your concern. It turned out that this error was _very_ weird and it had to do with those directories being no real directories on the darwin system. I still dont know why that was, but reinstalling the whole thing helped. So thats fixed.

But I faced another issue:

I installed some packages, which worked, but each time it cleans up, the cleaning fails. The same thing happens if I run "port clean" on its own. Here is an example:


mac14:~/BioData/UCSC stschiff$ port -d clean gsl

I tried to clean this directory by hand, just removing the PREFIX/var/macports/build directory including subdirectories in the Finder. That works of course, but then running a port clean command again (and expecting something like "nothing to be done here") will actually CREATE this directory once more, complaining afterwards with the same error-message from above. Any hints?
Thanks a lot.

Stephan
