OK, I'm adding a bit more about the issue:
It seems that the problem goes away for some users when they clear their AU cache, reboot, that sort of thing. This implies that it isn't an issue with my plugin code proper, as it seems that code bugs would show up for all people using the same OS/host (OS 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.5).
The esteemed Chris Randall has suggested that this has to do with file permissions, which makes me think it has something to do with the settings in my PackageMaker installer script. I'm not messing with the permissions settings, but apparently these can be set in a pseudo-random manner by PackageMaker.
Any suggestions on what might be going on here? A Google search turns up plenty of posts with this issue, but no definitive solutions.
Also, any actual auval documentation, that shows what these error codes mean? The only documentation I have found is the same as the help file for auval. Which doesn't really help me out much.
Thanks,
Sean Costello

The problem it, I don't run into this issue on any of my OSX machines. And users are reporting that the plugin works fine on one machine that is running OS 10.6.8/Logic 9.1.5, and fails validation on another machine with the identical OS/Logic version.
