Rob, my understanding is that it's slightly different in 10.2... here's my
notes:

----------------
In OS X version 10.3 or later (Panther+), if you wish to copy the resources
over with your file, you need to use the "--rsrc" flag (note the two
hyphens) as:

  ditto --rsrc <pathToFile> <pathToDestFolder>

However in OS X version 10.2 and earlier (Jaguar-), you only need ONE hyphen
for "rsrc", so it becomes:

  ditto -rsrc <pathToFile> <pathToDestFolder>
----------------

Hope this helps,
