Description:
Install fails during back (see screenshot):

"There has been an error.
Error enaming /Applications/mysql/enterprise/monitor/java to /.../backup/java
The application will exit now."

There is plenty o' disk space.

NOTE: 

a) Get same error updating from 1.2.0.7879 --> 1.2.1.8246 (from Nov 2007) unless I shut down agent(s)

b) update to 1.3.1.9044 succeeds (at least with agent not running)

How to repeat:
1) Install 1.2.0.7879 on OSX 10.4
  OR 1.2.1.8246 on OSX 10.4 or OSX 10.5

2) start up 1 agent (or not)

3) Run 1.2.1.9071 update installer

Gets error during backup (even if you say "don't backup")
