There are two issues.  First, 5.2's install(1) uses a system call that
doesn't exist in 5.1.  Second, 5.1's install(1) uses a system call
that does not exist in 5.2 unless you compiled your kernel with the
COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option.  This is explained in UPDATING, which I assume
you have read at least three times by now.
