kext "improper installation" only when pkg built from CLI not GUI

Hi,

I have a pmdoc file that defines my pkg to be built. If I open the
pmdoc in PackageMaker.app and select "build" to save the pkg then it
works fine, that is the resulting pkg installs without error. However,
if I use the PackageMaker command line, as below, to build the pkg
using the SAME pmdoc, then there are problems. Specifically, when I
run the installer for the pkg it pops up an alert for each .kext file
being installed stating the file was "improperly installed."

/Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app/Contents/MacOS/PackageMaker
--doc /Path/To/My/PMDOC.pmdoc --out /Path/To/My/PKG.pkg --id
com.me.MyApp.pkg --version 1.0.0 --title "MyApp" --install-to /
--root-volume-only --verbose

It appears there are numerous issues with the PackageMaker command
line tool. Is this a known issue? Whether it is, or isn't, is there a
work-around? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
