I am running bmake as root. :-P
You are *invoking* it as root.

Look in the lines above what you posted and see if it has 'su'ed to some other 
EUID:EGID so as to leave files it creates with some other ownership.

As is common....

Then see what already exists where it is trying to write, and what ownership and 
perms are there. And/or if a directory has been created with the same name as a 
file is meant to have.  Or the reverse.

HTH,

Bill
