Oh, yeah. Sorry, I forgot you wrote that.

It looks like the script has other problems as well. For instance,
when I run it on a plist file:

> $ /Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/CoreBuildTasks.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/copyplist /Users/eric/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist .

It specifies "no output directory specified", even though I've
specified ".". So I use "-o ." to specify it more explicitly, and that
works. However, when I add "-v" to validate, I get "unrecognized
option: -lint", followed by the plutil help text. I'm not sure which
program is reporting that "-lint" is unrecognized; if I manually run
"plutil -lint" it works fine.

Good luck!
