Did you try to upgrade the machine and have the patch fail halfway through?
IIRC, this was a large patch and I remember the GUI timing out while I was
trying to install it. I then had to uninstall the .pkg and was successful
installing it on the command line (which is how I install all the patches
now).

I believe the Cobalt installer script parses the access.conf file looking
for this line.

# ignore .files
#<Files "\.*">
#deny from all
#</Files>

and changes it to this

# ignore .ht*
<Files ".ht*">
deny from all
</Files>

If he ran the installer once it's already patched the access.conf file thus
the error message. 

I had to uninstall the package and then change the access.conf file back to
the original state. Then I could run the OS Update 3.0 again without it
complaining.

HTH,
