Re: tar: *: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

This error occurs if the pkg directory is empty, something seems to be wrong with your PKGBUILD.

Re: tar: *: Cannot stat: No such file or directory

This indicates that $startdir/pkg is empty i.e. there are no files to add to the package tarball, so therefore no tarball is created. This in turn indicates that something is wrong with your PKGBUILD. If you want to post it here, people can have a look at it, and probably spot the error.
