Troubles with pkgdata_DATA primary...

I have a simple makefile.am in my ftk/docs directory. All it's trying to
do is build and tar up doxygen docs:

ftk/docs/Makefile.am:
- -------------------
docpkg = $(PACKAGE)-doxy-$(VERSION)

pkgdata_DATA = $(docpkg).tar.gz

$(docpkg).tar.gz: doxygen.stamp
        tar chof - html | gzip -9 -c >$@

doxygen.stamp: doxyfile
        $(DOXYGEN) $<
        echo Timestamp > $@

CLEANFILES = doxywarn.txt doxygen.stamp $(docpkg).tar.gz

clean-local:
        -rm -rf html
- -------------------

When I hook this Makefile.am into the build system (via
AC_CONFIG_FILES), I get the following from "make distcheck":

Output:
- -------------------
$ cd build; ../configure && make distcheck

- -------------------

Do I misunderstand the use of the DATA primary? Perhaps DATA files are
not allowed to be built? I can't find anything in the Automake docs
about required properties of DATA files, and I don't get enough output
from make to determine where this problem is occurring in the Makefile.

One clue - I tried running this command using a -d on the make command
line. Of course, I got tons more output, but one interesting clue was
that make told me just before the failed copy commands above that
"destdir" needed to be rebuilt...strange.

Thanks in advance,
John
