NX server installation error - or a permission error?

Hi,

I've been an Arch user for a couple of years and I hadn't done a fresh install for more than a year. Last week one of my disks failed and, coupled with the fact that I had messed up the system quite a bit, I reinstalled Arch.

I installed NX with steps in this page:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FreeNX#Server

When I run the nxsetup command:
/opt/NX/bin/nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key

I get this:

mkdir: missing operand
Daha fazla bilgi için `mkdir --help' yazın.

(I obscured the key of course).

I use a Turkish system so I translated the "mkdir: missing operand" line (it is of course "mkdir: eksik islenen" originally).

I had never come across such an error. Did anything change since the last time I installed Arch?

What makes me think of this as a permission problem is, I'm having errors with Pacman too. My /usr and /var are mounted on LVM logical volumes, which themselves sit on software raid. I didn't do anything strange during the installation though. The permissions should be those set up by Arch installer.

Thanks for any help or comment.
