Coincidentally, I've been working on a scripted solution as well, using 
mksandbox, and hit some of the same issues.  My interest is building 
packages with an alternative prefix, e.g. /sharedapps/pkg-2017Q1, 
instead of /usr/pkg.

FYI, if you use pbulk.sh -l and create pbulk/etc/pbulk.list with just a 
few packages, scan will only take a few seconds.  Also need to correct 
the path of pbulk.list in pbulk.conf.  I've been using this just to 
speed up the test cycle and will remove it once the system is working 
smoothly.

I've also been unable to get unprivileged builds working. pbulk.sh dies 
if I use the -u flag.  I got around this by omitting -u and changing the 
username in pbulk.conf to root.  ( Don't do this if you're building 
outside a jail/container. )

Cheers,
