[CMake] CPack isn't working - getting Internal CMake error

Hi CMake experts,

I'm trying to create a package with CPack and it's not working, so I'm
hoping that someone can help me.  I have a reasonably lengthy CMakeLists.txt
file, all of which works well.  My software finds libraries, makes,
installs, etc.  At the end, I tacked on the line:

include(CPack)

This is my only line about CPack.  I was hoping that this would be
sufficient to create a package.  However, when I type "make package", I get
the following output:

[ 34%] Built target smoldyn
[ 67%] Built target smoldyn_shared
[100%] Built target smoldyn_static
Run CPack packaging tool...
CPack: Create package using PackageMaker
CPack: Install projects
CPack: - Run preinstall target for: smoldyn
CPack: - Install project: smoldyn
CMake Error at /Users/steveandrews/Smoldyn/cmake/cmake_install.cmake:74
(FILE):
   file Internal CMake error when trying to open file:
   /Users/steveandrews/Smoldyn/cmake/install_manifest.txt for
   writing.

... (several more of the same errors) ...

CPack Error: Error when generating package: smoldyn
make: *** [package] Error 1

My install_manifest.txt file is there, looks good, etc.  This looks like a
bug in CMake, although I'm guessing that I'm just using it wrong.  Can
someone enlighten me?  By the way, I'm using CMake version 2.8.10.2, running
on a Mac with OS 10.6.8. 

Thanks!
-Steve
