You'll laugh of my solution. Got this same problem just last night.
After execute the SlackBuild script, while things are compiling, I did open another shell, then 'cd' to '/tmp/SBo/package-ffmpeg/' and 'mkdir -p usr/man'
Well, maybe I'm respect the error too literally.

Reason: SOLVED

I believe that solution is not the best. The reason it cannot find the /tmp/SBo/package-ffmpeg/usr/man directory is because the man pages were not built during the ffmpeg compilation, and the reason the man pages were not built during compilation is because if you only do 'su' then things like /usr/share/texmf/bin are not in the user's $PATH and that's what is needed to build the man pages. If you use 'su -' then texmf will be in the user's $PATH, the man pages will be built, and the /tmp/SBo/package-ffmpeg/usr/man directory will be created.
I had the very same problem as el_jauzaa the other day, took me some time to figure out that you really need a true root shell ('su -' to switch to root instead of 'su') like chess pointed out before.
After that I was able to build the package without errors.
