            set the icon size of opts to 128
            --iconSize
            set background picture of opts to file ".background:dmgBackground.png"

            -- Icon positions
            delay 2
            set position of item "Spark.app" to {140, 250}
            set position of item "Applications" to {395, 250}
            delay 2

            update without registering applications
        end tell


        delay 10

    The error occurs in your ant script before the AppleScript is run. The error is here:

         [exec] cp:
/Users/damuammu/Desktop/spark-Mac/build/installer/mac/RightDSStore: No
such file or directory

    What the AppleScript does is make your mounted DMG volume look pretty. Since not everything gets put properly in the DMG, the Applescript later fails with:

         [exec] mac/dmg_spark.scpt: execution error: Finder got an error:
Can’t set item "Spark.app" of disk "MixTalx_2.6.3" to {140, 250}.
(-10006)

    However, what you need to do is fix the ant script failing with the first error.
