I've found the difference!
In your environment /targets/<target>/opt is a directory. In
autobuilder environment it's a symlink:

> ls -l /targets/maemo5-arm-183e1d1de998260fa89b870d65b22998c6908b6c/ |grep opt
lrwxrwxrwx   1 builder1 builder1    9 Oct 21 23:50 opt -> /home/opt

And it looks like it becomes symlink after rootstrap unpacking. Look:

So, the difference is in rootstraps. Tell me which rootstrap do you
use and I'll compare it with the one autobuilder uses.
