No, it triggers this error because you're trying to clone a /kernel/
object, only code in /kernel/ itself can do that.  This has nothing to
do with the master-object not existing yet.

Relevant bit of code from /kernel/lib/auto.c:

    if ((sscanf(path, "/kernel/%*s") != 0 && !KERNEL()) ||
        (creator != "System" &&
         !::find_object(ACCESSD)->access(oname, path, READ_ACCESS))) {
        /*
         * kernel objects can only be cloned by kernel objects, and cloning
         * in general requires read access
         */
>>>     error("Access denied");
    }

If you had looked at  the actual code in /kernel/lib/auto.c and read
the comment that is there, surely you wouldn't come to the same
conclusion as I just did.  Yes, that's a hint.

What you need to do is make your own wiztool, a good start is probably
to copy /kernel/obj/wiztool.c to ~System/obj/wiztool.c and make sure
your user.c clones that instead.

Regards,

Erwin.
