The latter. It was *meant* to be the former...

In non-technical terms, it's just not working :-(
The codesign utility has been around since 10.5, in fact. You can see the code in my script -- all it does is invoke codesign via "do shell script", following the formula outlined in the WWDC video. It gets errors, and I get the same errors when I try it from the command line -- it's nothing specific to the script.
The errors are various. Under 10.6.8 the complaint is that the app is already signed. Looking at script app executables, I suspect they were already signed in 10.6 and 10.7, and are no longer in 10.8, presumably in favor of user-signing of the whole bundle. Using -f might solve the problem under 10.6; I haven't yet tried it. There are also errors that others suggest are the result of a missing codesign component. Under 10.7 I get "object file format invalid or unsuitable".
Frankly, at this point I'm running out of enthusiasm fast. Maybe it's just another one of those problems I'm imagining.
