revCopyFile broken on OS X?

[James.Cass at sealedair.com]

The terminal command "CpMac"  will properly copy a Mac file with it's Data
and Resource info.

You'll have to install Mac OS X Developer Tools to get it though.

RevCopyFile uses "cp" through the shell, which copies attributes but
does not copy the resource fork properly.
