I think you will find that the issue is that you are trying to add an 8.2 package to an 8.1.2 master. I believe (but have not found documented yet) that although the vxupdate packages are backwards compatible they are not forward compatible. 

So you can add 8.1.2 or 8.2 packages to an 8.2 master, however you can only add 8.1.2 packages to an 8.1.2 master. 

As an aside, it makes no sense to do what you are trying as you need to have your master at 8.2. before you can upgrade any clients or media servers to 8.2
