You shouldn't have to go to all that trouble.
Make sure you install 2.7.2 if you upgrade an OS -- upgrading doesn't save everything
for QTR. The Mavericks extra is good for both 10.8 and 10.9
The main issue is copying the new install script over and renaming it.
The name is critical -- it determines what happens.

This sounds like a similar permissions issue I ran into when I installed Mavericks on my laptop. Here is a cut and paste of my fix:
Epson R3000 Wireless QTR install issues
First problem is a permissions problem. Open Terminal window and navigate to /Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles/EpsonXXX directory
Then type sudo InstallRXXXX.command
It will either install or you will get an error like this:
Installing QuadToneRIP Curves Printer QuadR3000
Couldn't open /etc/cups/ppd/QuadR3000.ppd for reading: No such file or directory
This means that for whatever reason, the silly .ppd file is gone. You need to put it there.
Open a Finder window using Go->Go to Folder... and tell it to go to /etc/cups/ppd
in the terminal window type ls -al
You will should _not_ see the QuadR3000.ppd file in here. Leave this terminal window open on your desktop.
There is something hosed up with the Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks permissions that will not allow the ppd files to expand properly. You will have to outsmart Apple and all its nanny-state rules.
So now open up a separate Finder window and type in Go->Go to Folder.. and then type in /Library/Printers/QTR
Open up the ppd folder and double click on the appropriate .ppd.gz file. In my case QuadR3000.ppd.gz and it will probably decompress into your Downloads folder.
Now navigate to your Downloads folder and drag the decompressed QuadR3000.ppd folder to the /etc/cups/ppd folder. The system will ask you for your password.
_Now_ you can install the printer properly. Go back to where you began, and open up a terminal window and navigate to your install script, e.g. cd /Applications/QuadToneRIP/Profiles/EpsonXXX
Type in sudo InstallR3000.command, give your password at the prompt and you should be in business. If you have a networked printer, you will have to supply the Install script with the network IP address.
It really should not be this hard. Thanks, Apple.
