<x-tad-bigger>I recently bought a booked called “MacOS X Unleashed” and it explains a section on how to run the disk image (.dmg) command line utility called hdiutil. I believe the book was written in Jaguar days, so maybe out of date.</x-tad-bigger>

<x-tad-bigger>When I run with the –debug and –verbose options a lot of stuff is spat out which seems to suggest that the hdiutil program is having trouble (read: cannot) loading the DiskImage framework (and it seems to attempt this more than once).

I am not sure this is your problem, but you have to give size or source dir info.
For example, this one works perfectly for me (Creates a 8MB HFS+ Read/Write dmg):
hdiutil create -size 8m -fs HFS+ -ov some.dmg

If you have a catalogue named "MyDmg" and want to create a compressed, read only
dmg from it (works only on 10.3 and later):
hdiutil create -srcdir MyDmg -fs HFS+ -ov my.dmg


PS. Searching the list archives are done at http://www.cocoabuilder.com/
