Replying to my own post...

it is because of the sticky-bit, something isn't right there.

I will fiddle with the switches to get it solved, it should work
though cause I am copying FreeBSD to FreeBSD

chmod g-ws DIRECTORY solves the problem

weird that it works in seprate runs, maybe the permissions are not
preserved?

here is the -v9 output of the last few lines:
