This sounds like a file path problem to me, since OS X paths and OS 9 
paths are different, depending on how you are calculating them. If you 
are using full file paths then it should work fine on either build, but 
if you are calculating the file path based on the location of the 
standalone then you need to do it differently in the two operating systems.

Can you give us an idea of what your file paths looks like?
