Package maker always looses destination path, often access rights?

Hi,

I'm creating some installer for an USB device that requires an daemon and some kexts. Currently I'm fighting with package maker 3.0.2.

If I read the (sparse) documentation correctly, instead of one Package starting at / with a root directory containing
/System/Library/Extensions and /Library/Application Support, I should use subpackages for each folder (implicit consequence of "don't create standard system directories with your package")

The problem is, I can not get the destination directory to stick. Even with an fresh created package, one content folder and an destination directory set, the dest dir ist lost if I save and reopen.

The second problem is most times after an save and reopen my kext access rights are reset to 664 - rendering the installed kext unusuable.
I adjusted the orginal kext file rights + owner to the desired result, used Package Makers UI, and still they become group writable after saves and reopening.

What triggers the Package Maker amnesia? Is there an known workaround? How do you folks create kext installers?

TIA,
	Tom_E
