You're running on 10.5.x, right?  The symptoms you describe almost 
make it sound like you're testing on 10.4.x (launchd agents don't 
work in a useful way prior to 10.5).

Beyond that, I suggest you start with something simple.  I installed 
the following plist on my 10.5.6 machine and it worked just fine. 
So, start from that, and mutate it towards what you've got, and see 
what causes it to stop working.

$ cat /Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.textedit.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" 
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>Label</key>
	<string>com.apple.textedit</string>
	<key>Program</key>
	<string>/Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit</string>
	<key>RunAtLoad</key>
         <true/>
</dict>
</plist>
