You most likely didn't configure /opt to be a writable filesystem in that 
particular zone.

This is the "curse of the zones": they are designed for a single person sitting 
behind a single system, hacking away at the keyboard. This is fine for a single 
system with a handful of zones, but the whole thing crumbles if the number of 
systems starts going into thousands... let alone if every one of those systems 
has more than a handful of zones (8192 per system used to be the limit).

Given this situation, your scenario, forgetting to configure "just that one 
zone" with some detail is quite common, and already causing headaches for 
organizations world wide.
