Installation problems?

Subject: Installation problems?

    Has anyone else noticed an installation error somewhat simillar to below? I'm stumped here.
----------------------------
[root@server]: rpm -ivh Nessus-3.2.0-es5.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
Nessus not properly installed

----------------------------
 
It would appear that there's some sort of a 'bad file descriptor', maybe in the packaged rpm? I've downloaded, uploaded multiple times, in multiple directories, even cleaned out (removed) the /opt/nessus directory , and it still fails right there.
Just looking to see if someone else has run across this. The almighty google is stumped (or maybe I'm searching with the wrong terms), maybe someone here has a better idea?
