uchg is user immutable, not system immutable /var/empty has the system immutable flag set (schg), like the error message indicated:

Code:
override r-xr-xr-x  root/wheel schg for tmp/temproot/var/empty? y
As has already been mentioned, you can use chflags(1) to remove the schg flags.
Please note that if your system's securelevel is set then schg (and sappnd) can not be removed for obvious reasons.
