Can't get AMDescription working

Dear AppleScript users,

I am developping an Automator Action, and I have a problem while configuring the Info.plist file, and more specifically, the AMDescription block.

In Info.plist file, if I put something like that :

	<key>AMDescription</key>
	<dict>
	</dict>

I get those items in the description given in Automator :

Name of action
Input: (Movie files)
Result: (Movie files)

It is fine. Now, I can modify the AMDescription block and put something like that :

	<key>AMDescription</key>
	<dict>
		<key>AMDAlert</key>
        	<string>Alert example</string>
        	<key>AMDInput</key>
        	<string>Movies from the previous action.</string>
        	<key>AMDNote</key>
        	<string>Note example</string>
       		<key>AMDOptions</key>
        	<string>No real UI...</string>
        	<key>AMDRelatedActions</key>
        	<array>
            	<string>No related action.</string>
        	</array>
       		<key>AMDRequires</key>
        	<string>QuickTime 7 Pro</string>
        	<key>AMDResult</key>
        	<string>Movies from the previous action.</string>
        	<key>AMDSummary</key>
        	<string>Summary example</string>
	</dict>

I get those items in the description given in Automator :

Name of action (* AMDSummary text to explain what your action does goes here. *) Warning: (* AMDAlert text goes here. (optional) *) Note: (* AMDNote text goes here. (optional) *) Requires: (* AMDRequires text to explain anything outside of Automator required for the action's operation, e.g. a web page open in Safari, goes here. (optional) *) Input: (Movie files) (* AMDInput text to further explain the types accepted as input goes here. (optional) *) Options: (* AMDOptions text to further explain configuration options in the UI goes here. (optional) *) Result: (Movie files) (* AMDResult text to further explain the types provided as output goes here. (optional) *)

As you can see, all the valued items in my configuration file are replaced by defaults settings for the given keys.

Has anybody ever experienced this problem ? And found the solution ?

Thanks,

--
Benoit
