The problem is that Apple Security Updates are cumulative, and you're
trying to use an OLD update that predates updates you've already
installed. You need to download and reinstall the LATEST Security
Update for Tiger, NOT the old one from 2005. I believe the final Tiger
PPC update was Security Update 2009-005 available here:

If Software Update has been working for you (it might not if it can't
mount the .dmg files) you could also use Software Update to reinstall
either the latest Security Update or even the entire 10.4.11 COMBO
Update by navigating to your /Library/Receipts folder and deleting the
receipt for either the Security Update or the Combo Update. Once the
receipt has been deleted, run Software Update again and it should
offer you the download again and install it (IF it can mount the
.dmg?). You can check whatever the final version needed is the
Receipts folder.
The solution was provided my Kris Tilford as indicated above. Thanks to
all who contributed. As is usually the case, the journey there was as
useful as the arrival. Thanks a lot again!
