do sheel script installer

I keep getting this option when trying to run shell scripts to install from the command line:

"AppleScript Error:
installer: invalid option OS"

Syntax is:

"installer -pkg /Volumes/My\ Installer\ DVD/MyApp.pkg -target /"

Now, this works fine in terminal, but I do some POISX path conversion so Applescript will accept a path to a volume that has spaces in the title.

----
set myposixpath to "My Installer DVD"
do shell script "installer -pkg /" & myposixpath & "MyApp.pkg -target /"
------

And, it still fails with that error...

Any ideas?
Of course, I'm open to any AppleScript commands to install packages instead of wrapping up shell scripts in AppleScripts...

Thanks,
jeremy
