I don't think you will get anywhere.  Isn't this a known issue?  The manual
installation instructions for the SDK
(http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo5_Final_Installation#Manual_Installation)
include:

In order to facilitate installing applications under /opt on the device, a
symlink /opt has been created pointing to /home/opt. The SDK inherits this
feature. Under Scratchbox, /opt points to /target/links/opt which in turn
points to /targets/<target_name>/opt. Installing the rootstraps makes this
point to /home/opt, which is not what we want, since we need /opt to be
target specific. In order to resolve this situation, 
[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] >rm /targets/FREMANTLE_X86/opt
[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] >mkdir /targets/FREMANTLE_X86/opt

I think sbdmock needs to do the same thing after installing the rootstrap.
