This is not a problem.  It's caused by the `sh -x` style invocation.

Oops!  My mistake.  You need to add a --pkg-vers option with the value
of the iscan-data version you have installed.  Blindly assuming that is
1.39.1-2 (adjust as necessary!), the command becomes

   sh -x make-policy-file --force --mode udev \
	    --registry /var/lib/iscan-data/clean-files \
            --pkg-vers 1.39.1-2 \
            --out-file policy.out > log.out 2>&1

It should be in the directory you ran the command from, i.e. `pwd`, but
your invocation errored out well before it started writing anything :-/

Hope this helps,
