This turns out to have been a problem with long paths to files. Although none of the files actually exceeded the limit on system path length, moving the entire project to a different directory fixed the problem. Figuring it had something to do with expanding the variable in the source attribute and possibly how it dealt with relative paths, I changed where it was finding some of the files and it is now much happier about building the install.
