Hey Mr. Matthews, that's an older version of createUser... please use the one 
from svn or afp548.com's downloads section, keeping in mind the fact that the 
one on afp548 has an issue if you're trying to hide the user you create:
in the postflight script, line 241, it should be "-array-add" instead of 
"-array"(which, incidentally, is right in your older version).  

Please do try to include more background info next time, at least the svn rev 
number, additionally what OS you're booted from and hardware, and what OS 
you're trying to build(build number of BaseOS, even).

And please don't build deep in your home folder, since 10.6 the chroot jail 
isn't an option, and you don't want rogue installers looking at the booted OS 
and spewing files where they don't belong...

gotcha - I must have grabbed the wrong version.

So...no building deep within the home folder...any suggestions on where to 
build?
Something shallow, like a folder at the root of the drive?

Apologies for not giving greater detail...I had originally copies that readout 
from the log and did not paste it into the page here...my bad.

Thanks,
j

There are two errors here:

1) The latest version of createUser.pkg does use --array-add, and has for some 
time. There was one revision were it got reverted, but then quickly came back.

2) I am going to disagree about the depth-of-build bit. My development copies 
are all a few layers into my home folder. And unless you are going to start to 
push up against the maximum path length (1024 characters) then this is not 
going to be an issue. The only thing to be careful of is having permissions 
that don't allow root into a folder along the way.
