Ah! Cool! I didn't know about this new way of cloning repositories with the new pacman. :)
About the livelog thing, it seems to me that something went wrong and the game didn't unlock the file. I guess removing that file could be a workaround. Anyway, I updated the PKGBUILD with yours and disabled the feature (livelog) which, again, seems to be used just by the server.
Thanks!

same thing with /var/games/nethack/livelog
here's a pacman41 git pkgbuild (using the new vcs functionality) http://ix.io/6LZ

hehe Yeah! The NetHack build itself is confusing, compared with what we have for some other packages. But, I think what they're doing is maintaining a git repository with the source code for NetHack v3.4.3 with the patches they apply to use in the server.
On top of that I created a patch so the build fits with the Archlinux standards (hopefully). :) That's what the PKGBUILD build to create the package.
I hope the changes fixed the issues you were having! :D

Yeah the build process is pretty confusing to me. It's pretty annoying that they are committing the binaries to the git repo >_>

Hey! Thanks for reporting!
Unfortunately I don't think I can track down this problem. But I notice that NAO moved away from the patch to provide only a git repository. I updated the PKGBUILD to use this repository, but I don't know if I should have sent a new package with "-git" appended. For now, I will leave it like this, but if this isn't acceptable, we can figure out something to change this package to use a better name.
I have disabled the extended logging features used by the NAO server, because I think it's tied to the dgamelaunch that they use, which was causing the problems while creating the logs. I think most of the people isn't interested in these logs anyway...
Right now I can't really teste the package to see if every thing is alright, so let me know if something went wrong!

in addition to what looks like permissions troubles in creating a dump file like barchiesi pointed out, there is also a bug when zapping a wand of wishing:
k - a blessed gray dragon scale mail.
Waiting for release of fcntl lock on /var/games/nethack/livelog. (9 retries left).
...
I give up. Sorry.
Some other process has an unnatural grip on /var/games/nethack/livelog.

I'm sorry, the commands below should be run as ROOT, of course, not as a user. :)
Hope it fix... If you wish a walkthrough to fixing the permission by hand, you can reach me at #archlinux IRC channel. My nickname is AkiraYB.
Good luck!
