So Ian dug into this further - we think its the name of the executable 
in the plist which is the problem...

Codesign expects this to be in 'decomposed' unicode form - so instead of 
the (combined) u-umlaut character, it needs to be u,combining-umlaut.

Presumably this is because filenames in Apple FS's are always stored in 
decomposed unicode form, and codesign and friends expect exact byte 
equivalence between the entry in the plist, and that of the executable 
filename.

Anyway, a little bit of a subtle issue, but one which will hopefully be 
fixed by using the normalizeText function appropriately in the S/B where 
it sorts out the plist :)

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
