yep! the output i sent is a capture of actual files and so i guess
thats the problem. since i havent tried devfs before i thought the
problem is elsewhere. so sorry.

i gave up mirroring temporarily and continued fossil+venti
installation and i have made some progress. in a day or so i will
continue mirroring effort and let you know the progress. thanks a lot
for figuring out the problem!

thanks
