So I tracked this problem down to my stupidity: the freebsd boxes were actually installed as infinitycode/freebsd-10.1-zfs-pure as plain 'freebsd-etc'. It seems that this is the error that is generated whenever an incorrect box name is used. : 

 $ vagrant mutate foo  libvirt
~/.vagrant.d/gems/gems/vagrant-mutate-1.0.0/lib/vagrant-mutate/box_loader.rb:243:in `join': no implicit conversion of nil into String (TypeError)

So maybe there should be a better error for boneheads? Yeah, I'm still blaming mutate :)

I had similar problem with hasicorp/precise64. I run vagrant mutate hasicorp/precise64 libvirt and it's worked. maybe try execute vagrant mutate infinitycode/freebsd-10.1-zfs-pure libvirt?

Yes, that's what I would up doing after looking at how Vagrant arranged my boxes with box list It's just that vagrant mutate doesn't' fail with a proper error if you type the name of the box wrong: `join': no implicit conversion of nil into String (TypeError) is not very descriptive or helpful, so this is more of a feature request.

Thanks for the report! This should be fixed in 1.0.1.

$ vagrant mutate foo libvirt
The box foo was not found
