Right again, spaces were at fault. It all works great now, thx for the help. The only thing i don't like is that when the product archive is installed, you can see the name of the component package in the GUI even though it has a description and a title, but i can live with it.

It might be caused by your component package name having spaces in them. I ran into a similar problem and was not able to find a true solution - even replacing the spaces with %20 in the distribution did not work for Leopard. I ended up replacing the spaces in my component package filenames with underscores; once I renamed the files and their references in the distribution, the error went away on Leopard. I'd be interested to know if that fixes your problem, or if there are any better solutions to this.

That worked perfectly. thx.
There is another problem on 10.5.8 now though ( all is still fine on 10.6 and up ). I'm getting an error about not being able to find the required files. Here is the relevant parts from the installer log.
