This is a guess, but it looks like you may have hit an ongoing
issue when spaces occur in the .pkg name or path.
We hit this some time ago, but I don't know whether our lead Mac
developer logged a bug with Apple.
We learned of it when users dragged our installer .pkg from the
.dmg on which we distribute it, to their local disk. Lots of
errors can be seen, depending on the routines your install uses.
Hope that helps,
Ted
