It's normal to get some warnings there. If the rest is working, just
ignore them for now. Try to install an application an run it. If that
works everything should be ok.

I think the "-R" was a bit too much and you're missing the

See above. Should be drwxrwxrwt.

That's normal. I also get a lot of errors about config/hal and stuff,
but it's still working :)

I didn't check that line by line, but it looks quite familiar to me. If
you have any concrete problems - write again.
