Problem with installing to /private/tmp

Hello All
 
I have built a package installer for my app which generally seems to work successfully. However, on some machines there seems to be an issue with installing a file to the /private/tmp folder. The file I am installing here is later used in a post-flight script where it is conditionally copied to another folder. The problem manifests itself as an "Install Failed" at the end of the installation process. The exact error is: "The following install step failed: run postflight script...".
 
From looking at the install.log file, it appears that the post-flight script is failing due to the file that is supposed to be installed to /private/tmp not being present. This confirmed by the following line in install.log which indicates that one file from the installer has not been written (26206 of 26207 files):
 
May 25 06:26:28 Jamie-Coventry pkgExtractor[295]:  26206 of 26207 files written in 133.07 seconds.
 
Has anyone got any idea what might be causing this failure to install the file on some machines?
 
Thanks in advance.

Mark
