What cures a failure to make distdir?

I've just tried to create and test my test case and received the message
below. The script which is used to create the distribution is included along
with the configure.ac, Makefile.am, and src/Makkefile.am files. The setup is
for testing and not too large (130 lines - see below). 

What awful thing have I done to not be able to build distdir? Shouldn't this
be part of the magic glue that holds the autotools together, which the
autotools create all by themselves?

The directory structure is:
./   here I am (buildscript.sh, configure.ac, Makefile.am)
src/ here are other things (Makefile.am)

Lines
  10 buildscript.sh
  35 configure.ac
  25 Makefile.am
  60 src/Makefile.am
 130 total
