How exactly are you trying to do the upgrade?
This is via the Mac App Store I presume?
Did you buy it from the Store recently?

I am using a mini thumb drive bought from apple and mailed to me.

Your system Supports Lion, Not ML. Its from 2006-2007. I would recommend using a utility like CCC (http://www.bombich.com) or Lion Disk maker (http://blog.gete.net/lion-diskmaker-us/) to create a bootable USB stick and do the install from there. You may also need to do a clean install. As always we highly recommend fully backing up before you start or go further.

CCC also happens to be a great back up app.

You probably should call Apple Support about this.
I see that others have had similar problems:

with the issues having been diagnosed variously as a corrupted version of the installer, bad RAM, etc.
