Problem with command-line installer vs. graphical

I have a package which I've created using Package Builder. If I
double-click on it, the graphical installer runs, it prompts for my
passphrase, I tell it to install onto 'Macintosh HD', which is the only
volume in my system, and it successfully installs my package.

However, if I try to install the same package using the command-line
installer, it doesn't work. The command I use is:

installer -pkg myPackage.pkg -target /

It claims successful installation, creates the receipt in /Library/Receipts
and even runs my postflight script, but when I look for the files which it
is supposed to install, they're not there.

This is on OSX 10.2.8.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Thanx.
