If I'd was you I would try the same XPI droppin'it on Navigator on
Windows and then I'll check the install.log file to see the results.
If you still get a -204 error, this means the zip file has something
wrong which prevents Moz/NS to see the install.js file on the root
of your archive.
I don't know if repacking under Win32 (e.g. with WinZIP) your XPI
could solve your problem, since I don't know if you need to preserve
special data (e.g. resource fork data). Anyhow taking a look with
WinZIP (e.g. testing the archive) surely wouldn't hurt.
