sometimes it errors out, and sometimes it's successful (my guess
is that
CpMac is erroring out in certain situations when the dest file already
exists--I don't know what situations--its not documented).
You should use ditto for copying files instead of cp because it
supports resource forks back to at least 10.2.
Are you logging using echo in your postflight script so you can tell
what is going on? What does the installer log say?
