The script does create a disk image but I added a few lines to count the number of running DiskManagementTool processes and print the value before and after each call to PackageMaker. The value printed increases after the call so I am positive that is where it is coming from. However, it inconsistent as to which call causes it. Sometimes its only one call, other times its all four calls.

Here is a snippit of shell script that I use to create the meta-package:
PACKAGEMAKER="/Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker"
PACKAGE_DEST="/Users/huych02/package_stage"
PACKAGE_FILES="/Users/huych02/dev/Mac/package"
mkdir -p "$PACKAGE_DEST"
echo "Processes before : `ps -xalww | grep DiskMan | wc -l`"
$PACKAGEMAKER -build \
-p "$PACKAGE_DEST/MetaPackage.mpkg" \
-f "$PACKAGE_FILES/MetaRoot" \
-r "$PACKAGE_FILES/MetaResources" \
-i "$PACKAGE_FILES/MetaPackageInfo.plist" \
-d "$PACKAGE_FILES/MetaPackageDescription.plist"
echo "Processes after : `ps -xalww | grep DiskMan | wc -l`"
The Info.plist files and Description.plist files were generated using the PackageMaker gui. The MetaRoot folder is empty since a meta-package has no files of its own (PackageMaker doesn't work unless a folder is specified).
If I have time today, I will make a test script and package that duplicates the possible bug, zip it up, and send it to you.
