Add single user

I am attempting to add a single user to my poky build.  I am trying to follow the useradd-example.bb layout but I cannot get bitbake to like it.  My bb file looks like so:

SUMMARY = "Add a user"
DESCRIPTION = "This recipe will add a new user"

PR = "r0"
LICENSE = "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COREBASE}/LICENSE;md5=3f40d7994397109285ec7b81fdeb3b58"

S = "${WORKDIR}"

inherit useradd

USERADD_PACKAGES = "${PN}"

USERADD_PARAM_${PN} = "--disabled-password hal"


do_install () {

           chown -R hal ${D}${datadir}/hal
}

FILES_${PN} = "${datadir}/hal/*"

I have the useradd package specified as a dependency for a package group which I am installing for my image.  When I bake, it attempts do_rootfs but fails and spits out a huge log after which it simple states that it couldn't satisfy dependencies for my package group and and points the the useradd package.  Is there any obvious reason why such a simple recipe like this would not work?  Thanks

-Mike

Are you sure your package is not empty?
Maybe you want this in your recipe.
ALLOW_EMPTY_${PN} = "1"

Also, if you're only trying to add a user, use EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS in 
your conf file (assume you're using poky/master, i'm not sure whether 
dylan has this feature).

Your package is empty since the install step is not quite correct.
Try adding this line before 'chown'
   install -d ${D}${datadir}/hal

Also, I think you may need this:
   FILES_${PN} = "${datadir}/hal /home/hal"
