Hi David,
Your antivirus software is getting in the way. Disable it, create the
DMG, reenable it.
I found NAV 10.1 to be particularly heinous about this.
Best wishes,
Scott

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.

No idea what your error is, but you didn't specify any disk format.
Mac
disk images are HFS+.
Try:
Hdiutil create -ov -fs HFS+ -srcfolder sourceDir out.dmg
I usually use:
Hdiutil create -ov -fs HFS+ -volname "out" -srcfolder "source Dir"
out.dmg
The man page will describe all the options :)

Subject: hdiutil create failed error 49168
I'm trying to create a dmg with an application in it.
I put the application in a directory then used the following command:
hdiutil create out.dmg -srcfolder sourceDir
hdiutil: create failed - error 49168
I haven't found much in Google about this. I'm not of out disk space.
Any help appreciated.
