Yeah, I know about the target vs project settings stuff and all checks  
out.

Here's some codesign ouput:

Anyone see anything bad?  Are there other codesign commands I should  
try?

Also, I did a test where I ran the debug build first and it worked,  
then without unloading the helper tool, I ran the Release build and it  
worked.  So if it would seem that the tool is the problem.

I do copy the tool to my helper tool to myapp.app/Contents/Library/ 
LaunchServices/ folder in the apps target if that makes any  
difference.  Does a release build do some kind of strip on copy that I  
need to worry about?
