Partial Install of base pkgs upon creating Solaris 10 zone

Question

Greetings,
I have this weird situation when attempting to create a zone. Hoping I can get a bit of insight as to a resolution here.
The procedure I follow is:
root@was07:/root
zonecfg -z was07zonewas07zone: No such zone configured
Use 'create' to begin configuring a new zone.
zonecfg:was07zone> create
zonecfg:was07zone> set autoboot=true
zonecfg:was07zone> set zonepath=/was07zone
zonecfg:was07zone> add net
zonecfg:was07zone:net> set address=xxx.xxx.xxx.107
zonecfg:was07zone:net> set physical=ce0
zonecfg:was07zone:net> end
zonecfg:was07zone> info

The file </was07zone/root/var/sadm/system/logs/install_log> contains a log of the zone installation.
All of the errors in the above log look like this:
*** package <SUNWcsr> installed with warnings:
pkgadd: ERROR: unable to create package object </was07zone/root/usr>.
unable to fix attributes
Installation of <SUNWcsr> on zone <was07zone> partially failed.
I have performed this procedure on 8 identical machines in the past week with no problems, except this one.
uname -aSunOS was07 5.10 Generic_118822-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440

Now I can finish the the install and boot the zone just fine, but those packages are listed as partially installed, thusly when they are a prereq for any application, the application install fails with dependancy issues. If I try to install those pkgs, the dependancy loop gets very deep.
Plus I know that this isnt the expected results of my command chain above.
TIA for any assistance that can be provided.

One cant perform a zoneadm -z was07zone install
if the permissions on the zonepath are other than 700, correct?
/was07zone with permisisons=777
/was07zone must not be group readable.
/was07zone must not be group writable.
/was07zone must not be group executable.
/was07zone must not be world readable.
/was07zone must not be world writable.
/was07zone must not be world executable.
could not verify zonepath /was07zone because of the above errors.
zoneadm: zone was07zone failed to verify

I did open up another terminal window while creating the zone.. and /was07zone/root is created with permisisons of 755
