Any clues or tips where to dive into this? I've never had this issue before with my jails in 5.6. Perhaps I missed a step? I'm also not understanding the write location details in the error.

I'd say that this first line is the most problematic, make not being find is a rather big issue, and I guess that's the root cause. Weren't there errors too during the buildworld step ?
