You are probably trying to install something on the user's home folder
which is forbidden by the OS unless one enables a security permission
inside the system preferences (not recommended as most users don't know how
to do that)
There's some information on these links:
https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/836
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11487596/making-os-x-installer-packages-like-a-pro-xcode-developer-id-ready-pkg/11487658#11487658
You could also try to create the folders beforehand with a pre-install
script but not sure if that would work.
