Is there a way around this?
Are you using the -E option?
To elaborate: it sounds like you're copying single-file applets and
the resource fork (which is where the actual script is) is getting
dropped. Use rsync -E, which should preserve them. Obviously, this
is not the default. (Alternatively, get in the habit of saving your
applets as bundled applications, which don't use resource forks and
therefore aren't subject to this problem. That doesn't help with your
existing applets, though.)
