In the dist script, the min OS targeted is 10.5.8 but when i run the installer on 10.5.8, i get an error saying the dist script is too new and cannot be parsed. It works fine on 10.6 and up. I tried changing the minSpecVersion from 2 to 1 but that didn't change anything.

I can. Here is how i use productbuild:
productbuild --distribution '<distfile>' --sign '<cert>' --package-path '<path to packages>' '<output path>'
Here is what my dist file looks like, i've never used pacifist. This comes from "productbuild --synthesize" and some manual editing.
