&gt; I discovered that i had patch code left over from mergemaster in my /e=
tc/group file, i have deleted and rebooted.=20
&gt; unfortunately, i still get the same error when i try to install ports.=

Thank you,
not sure where the fluff came from but the culprit was:
/usr/local/etc/mtree/BSD.gnome.dist:
which had group=3Dwheel--- /etc/group 1 mode=3D0755

seems i might have other cruft too:
tar: +*: Not found in archive

Thanks.
ken.
