E:Can't symlink /system/bin/bugreport

Hello,
I was playing around with Donut, building it from source and flashing it, and it wouldn't work, so I wiped the device, and when trying to flash the stock ADP1 firmware image (on my ADP1), it gets this error:
Code:
E:Can't symlink /system/bin/bugreport
Anybody know how to fix this? (I'm not using Apps2SD)
Thanks,
Isaac

Clockwork FRF83

Flashing from CM 5.0.8 using Rom Managers FRF83. It downloads three files, ERE27, FRF50, and FRF83. I get this error when installing part two

From what I'm reading, this means that the updater script from Rommanager doesn't release the mount on system after the first flash, because I can easily navigate to the directory after I receive this error and install it manually. I figure the way it works is after install it umounts.
Just as an FYI, if others are trying this, this is what I did to overcome. 1.Using clockwork recovery
2.mount SD
3.find FRF83fromFRF50
4. copy to /sdcard/update.zip
5. manually install ERE27toFRF50
6. let it boot
7. reboot into stock recovery
8. install update.zip through stock recovery
BOOM FRF83
Ooops, sorry MODs. It originated as a question, but I figured it out mid writing this. Please move to general. Sorry

That's and updater-script problem. Update-script problem lol you should know that you need to edify it to convert update-script into updater-script. And you also have other issues to fix.
