Have you tried a luactivate directly after the lumake ? There is a bug in cpio that causes lucreate to fail to create the zones in the new be when there is a server in the zone that uses unix domain sockets. One server I had that caused the problem was the admin server used for the directory server. I don't have the CR number available right now.
