Did you try that -text command I suggested? It sounds like its missing a 
library to finish the PBI installation properly.

PBIs are installed as "root:wheel", so thats normal. To test running

(Note the .sbin, that is the directory we use to execute PBI binaries, 
it contains the wrapper for shared library support)
