Most likely is that you've come across a bug that I forgot to fix: if 
you set the "force"
flag on a source install you get a spurious message about having to 
install the devtools
by hand. It's very silly, really: the force flag is recursive, so it 
also tries to
force-install all dependent packages, hence also the devtools, hence 
the error. The "force"
flag shouldn't be recursive but only apply to the package you're 
actually asking to install.

If this isn't what's happening then we should debug it. Could you send 
me the output of
"ls -ld /Developer/Tools"?
