right, this is not specific to mac os x, but to maven 3.1.0
Try re running the build with maven 3.0.4, you won't reproduce the issue.
It appears that this section :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-artifacts</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>attach-artifact</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifacts>
<artifact>
<file>kepler.target</file>
<type>target</type>
<classifier>kepler</classifier>

</plugin>
makes the install plugin want to install all the targets in the local repo :

Maven 3.0.4 is ok with the files not being there (the target files are only in the root of the project, not anywhere else) : it happily ignores the copy issue; but maven 3.1.0 does not tolerate this anymore, hence the :
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven
