Error with package() - permission denied when copying to /usr/bin

Hello everyone,

I am creating a PKGBUILD for factories:

# Maintainer: Aneesh <happeng@httpandssl.com>
pkgname=factories2
pkgver=0.1.0
pkgrel=1
epoch=
pkgdesc="A block-based game inspired by on mminecraft"
arch=('any')
url="https://r58playz.github.io/factories-python/index.html"
license=('GPL')
groups=()
depends=('python2' 'python2-pyglet' 'bash')
makedepends=()
checkdepends=()
optdepends=()
provides=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
options=()
install=
changelog=
source=("https://github.com/r58Playz/factories-python/archive/master.zip")
noextract=()
md5sums=(9a51ed575438cfa4abe8e2d14a772474)
validpgpkeys=()

package() {
	mkdir $pkgdir/opt
	mkdir $pkgdir/usr
	mkdir $pkgdir/usr/bin
	cp -r factories-python-master $pkgdir/opt/$pkgname-$pkgver
	echo '#!/bin/bash' > $pkgdir/usr/bin/factories2
	echo 'python2 /opt/factories2-0.1.0/main.py' >> $pkdir/usr/bin/factories2
	chmod +x $pkgdir/usr/bin/factories2
}

However, makepkg -si gives:

Could you please help me with this?

Re: Error with package() - permission denied when copying to /usr/bin

	echo 'python2 /opt/factories2-0.1.0/main.py' >> $pkdir/usr/bin/factories2

$pkdir is underfined so the path becomes /usr/bin/factories2 which gives the error

/home/aneesh/PKGBUILDS/factories2-0.1.0/PKGBUILD: line 33: /usr/bin/factories2: Permission denied
