I got this error message in the past. You have to make sure that you have the correct permissions to create a file and directory. Let me know if this works.

So, the modules directory has to have the same permissions as the file uploads directory -- is that accurate?

ADDENDUM: Setting file permissions for the modules directory to be the same as the file uploads directory does NOT appear to be sufficient.

Starting a new issue to request documentation of permissions required for this module to function.

To clarify, my first post:
In your modules directory, you need permission to create a file and create a directory. This is the same for any other directory that the plugin manager writes to (i.e. themes). Let me know if you have anymore issues. Also, for the time being, it is recommended that 6.x-1.10 is used. I am guessing the current maintainer is busy working on the 6.x-2.x branch.
