Metacard compiles for Leopard

As reported to me by several folks who had the app working happily 
before they upgraded to Leopard:'

>>>
It says it can't be opened because it is not "supported on this 
architecture."  No error code.
<<<

Ken's list appears to be all visual.  My app won't even launch on Leopard.

I cannot replicate the problem as I do not have Leopard.  Only 
several folks reporting the above error when attempting to launch the 
app.  It's not a new app, and works fine on OSX prior to Leopard.

I haven't personally added any externals of any kind.  All code is 
directly from Revolution, excepting a couple of Applescript calls and 
a couple of shell() commands.

shell("/sbin/ifconfig en0")

get shell("ln -s" && q(theFile) && q(tAlias))

get shell("rm -rf" && q(pit))

Also, using Applescript to create a desktop alias/shortcut if other 
methods fail.

I think that about covers the non-Revolution portion of the code.

Is there anything in the pList file that would make Leopard unhappy? 
As I compile with Metacard, my pList file is done manually.  I've 
matched it to Rev's so I don't see how it could be unhappy.  I build 
the entire Contents folder manually, perhaps there is something 
Leopard requires that previous OSX's didn't?

Thank you.
