v3.0.4 and OSXS - Exit code: 1

My first guess -- superficial because I am in a hurry right now but  
nevertheless want to help a little -- is that it is a permission  
problem:

Your command line starts with a "sudo", and I am not sure how  
"launchd" gets sudo permissions without user interaction.
