Bad cabinet syntax/name
Only Cabinet data type is allowed. The Cabinet data type must be used  
in the Cabinet column of the Media table. If the cabinet name is  
preceded by the number sign, the cabinet is stored as a data stream  
inside the package. The character string which follows the # is an  
Identifier for this data stream. Note that if the cabinet is stored as  
a data stream, the name of a cabinet is case-sensitive.
------------

Just a hunch here, but I would stay away from spaces in the cabinet  
file name...
