Path is not a directory & Recovery HD

All:

I am having a hell of a time getting InstaDMG to complete a run on 10.8.2, creating a 10.8.1 image. It keeps failing after installing all of my packages with the following:

Working on folder 013 (11:49:08)
Installing iPhoto9.4Update.pkg
Dec 3 11:49:09 a201353.local installer[42106] : Product archive /Volumes/Storage/instadmg/InstallerFiles/CustomPKG/013/iPhoto9.4Update.pkg trustLevel=501
Package name is iPhoto Update
Installing at base path /private/tmp/idmg.KoCA/idmg_mp.ENc3/Macintosh HD
PHASE:Preparing for installation…

###### Internal error: tried to eject an image from /private/tmp/idmg.KoCA/idmg_mp.ENc3/Macintosh HD/../Recovery HD but that path is not a directory ######
rmdir: /private/tmp/idmg.KoCA/idmg_mp.ENc3/Macintosh HD/../: No such file or directory
Deleting scratch DMG

Notice that the failure is around unmounting the Recovery HD. The path that it is using seems odd to me. Why point to “…idmg_mp.ENc3/Macintosh HD/../Recovery HD” instead of “…idmg_mp.ENc3/Recovery HD”? As to why Recovery HD is not being recognized as being a folder… no idea.

At any rate, I would really like to get this sorted out. Any advice appreciated!

Got it figured out; apparently InstaDMG REALLY doesn’t like it when you have an empty folder in your workflow! Removing it allowed the build to complete without any issues. You live, you learn!
