This is a known bug with an unknown solution. I've reported the issue in the past and we have yet to figure out what is causing it.

See the error message, at the very end it says to "please remove by hand before continuing," which does work. I've seen this bug on my machine, and following those instructions fixed the issue for me. So you need to delete the offending directory and all of it's subdirectories.

You're on a Mac, so the simplest way to do this is from a Bash shell:

$ sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/XDK/xdk-scratchdir

That should do it...
