Hello Markus,

Yes! The "plutil" script does work correctly:
[code]
$ plutil
No files specified.
plutil: [command_option] [other_options] file...
The file '-' means stdin
Command options are (-lint is the default):
 -help    show this message and exit
 -lint    check the property list files for syntax errors
 -convert fmt  rewrite property list files in format
    fmt is one of: xml1 binary1
There are some additional optional arguments:
 -s    be silent on success
 -o path  specify alternate file path name for result;
    the -o option is used with -convert, and is only
    useful with one file argument (last file overwrites);
    the path '-' means stdout
 -e extension  specify alternate extension for converted files
 --    specifies that all further arguments are file names
$
$ plutil test.plist
test.plist: OK
[code]

I tried to use the absolute path /usr/bin/plutil but then, ruby 
considered plutil as being a directory and not a file. Error received :
[code]
sh: line 0: cd: /usr/bin/plutil: Not a directory
Command 
/Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/CoreBuildTasks.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/copyplist 
failed with exit code 1
[/code]

I've also checked permissions which appear to be coorect :
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 71648 11 avr 04:47 plutil
