I didn't need to.

zoneadm created that directory for me, prior to erroring out.

Its included in the supporting data at the bottom of the email.  Created
correctly with 0700 permissions.

Based on your directory suggestion, I have attempted to run the zoneadm
install command, both with the directory in-place, and to remove it, and
let zoneadm recreate it again.  There is no difference, and the error
persist.

Thank you for your suggestion.  I appreciate it.
