I get a similar message if using the GUI update manager.  The error message implies that pfexec is needed however this same result is obtained under "su" or "pfexec".  Have I been wrong all these years thinking that superuser was the ultimate authority in the UNIX world? (jk)

:~$ pfexec pkg -R /mnt image-update

because of insufficient permissions. Please try the command again using pfexec
or otherwise increase your privileges.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
