FYI, I reran the command from history, no changes that I'm aware of
anywhere, and it worked.
I have been experiencing these frequent errors for no discernible
reason. I've been trying to use tools DropDMG and DMG Canvas. Both of
those often also give me errors, especially DropDMG which always
reports an error, hdiutil 49168.
The man page for hdiutil says that when using srcfolder the file
system will match that of the source. Therefore sounds like the fs
option is not needed unless you're trying to override the filesystem.
The -ov option just overwrites. If you don't overwrite and the file is
present, it gives a simple error stating that the file exists.
