[Casper] Quickadd Failing

[Ryan Harter]

Is your QuickAdd.pkg making it's way across a Windows share on it's  
way to your client?  Or are you copying it using scp?

I've seen some inconsistent issues with either of these methods where  
some of the special data on the file will get stripped and cause the  
postflight script to no longer be flagged as executable.  I would  
suggest zipping (right click > "Compress") or tarring (tar cpvf  
QuickAdd.pkg) the file before you transfer to be sure.

Also, on the client it is failing on, you can check that the  
postflight script is executable by entering the following into a  
terminal:

ls -l /path/to/QuickAdd.pkg/Content/Resources/

and look for  the 'x' in the left hand colomn.

-rwxrwxrwx  1 rharter  UWSPDOM\domain users      97 Nov 18 17:34  
postflight

Hope it helps.
