Bouncing in the dock just means that the process has connected to the window server.  The window server expects such processes to start an event loop and process events, and that's what stops the bouncing.  OTOH, not doing that is fine; the window server won't be too disappointed (-:

To prevent the agent showing up in the dock, just set LSBackgroundOnly in your agent's Info.plist.
