I've built an installer using PackageMaker from the command line. On
my Leopard system, the install works beautifully. On our tester's
system, pkgExtrator is diverting the files to another directory.
Here's the commands I use to build the installer and the installer log
from the tester's system. I've found other folks complaining about
this (like
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Installer-dev/2008/Mar/msg00061.html),
but no workarounds. Any idea what's going on? Is there a workaround?

--resource build/myapp.dst/Users/macbuild/Resources
