I did just commit some changes, but after you updated.  Certainly please
update again so we're debugging head.  I did tons of make replaces last
night (via pkg_rolling-replace) and it was fine.

I think you are hitting a bug that's been there for a few weeks.
Basically my experience is:

$ make replace
will su/sudo to do part of the replace, but not do all the steps

$ sudo make replace
will work

Is this how it is for you?
