Yes we'd very much like his advice if he has time to give it.

One thing that we should try and do with the platform effort is to
document these issues so that more than one or two people know the black
arts involved in building installers on our supported platforms.

Tiger   == OS 10.4
Leopard == OS 10.5

So the one built on 10.5 did not work with 10.4, but presumably an
installer built on the older version will work on the newer version.
