munkiimport fails to create a dmg file larger than 100MB on Mavericks

munkiimport fails to create a dmg file larger than 100MB.
I didn't have this problem in Mountain Lion. Now this problem happens since I 
upgraded to Mavericks.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. take a 120MB folder myapp.app
2. import it

$ munkiimport myapp.app 
Making disk image containing myapp.app...
hdiutil: create failed - error -5341
Disk image creation failed.
Could not convert myapp.app to a disk image.

The problem comes from the hdiutil command. I tested on 2 Macosx Mavericks 
machines, and it fails if the command is called without the -size parameter:

$ hdiutil create  -srcfolder myapp.app myapp.dmg
.................................................................
hdiutil: create failed - error -5341

$ hdiutil create -size 130m  -srcfolder myapp.app myapp.dmg
.......................................................................
created: myapp.dmg

What version of the Munki tools/InstallOSpkg tools are you using? On what
version of OS X?
Note: I couldn't install Munkitools 0.9.2.1856.0 because Gatekeeper forbids 
installing non-signed packages.

$ pkgutil --pkg-info com.googlecode.munki.core
package-id: com.googlecode.munki.core
version: 0.9.0.1797.0

If this can be replicated, it points to a bug in Maverick's hdiutil, since the 
section in the manual for the "create -srcfolder" parameters says of the 
resulting disk image: "Its size will be that of the source data plus some 
padding for filesystem overhead."

As not being able to install 0.9.2.1856.0; this is trivial to override and you 
should do so. Three ways:
1) Temporarily change Gatekeeper settings in System Preferences
2) Control-click the package and choose Open with Installer
3) Use the command-line: installer -pkg/path/to/munkitools-0.9.2.1856.0.pkg 
-target /

I attempted to replicate this using a 537MB .app, testing both munkiimport and 
hdiutil commands, and received the expected behavior both times. 
Tested under Mavericks 13A2093 and munkitools 0.9.2.1856  
Also worked for 1.58GB iPhoto.app.

Same here. munkitools version 0.9.2.1849, munkiimport just created a 317.6MB 
DMG of Pages 5.0.1. Looks like an issue with hdiutil.

Closing as appears not to be a Munki issue.

This might give somebody a clue:
today I tried creating a DMG file in a script. It fails with the same error, 
and the funny thing is that if I type the exact same command directly in my 
terminal, it works:

$ DMG_create.sh myapp.app 
hdiutil create -size 130m -srcfolder myapp.app myapp.dmg
................................................................................
..
hdiutil: create failed - error -5341

$ hdiutil create -size 130m -srcfolder myapp.app myapp.dmg
................................................................................
......
created: myapp.dmg
