This error sounds familiar. If it is the same problem I've had a couple of times, every time it happens, I forget what it was I did the last time to fix it. :-( After I remember, it seems almost obvious.
After some more googling I found the solution and it wasn't obvious:
sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
In the case I really think the error message needs some improvement.
I can see where getting the permissions right on the mount points can be tricky.
I hope the rest of my permissions are ok.
I used the following to do the heavy lifting
(cd src; tar cf - --xattrs .) | (cd dest; tar xf -)
Don't remember why I chose this over a cp -R based solution, or a similar idiom using dump/restore instead of tar.
