Be careful with do shell script.  Some users, like me, try to run everything as a subprocess of a terminal session.  The reason why is to preserve environment changes that are carried out in a shell initialization script.

environment.plist doesn't seem to be very stable with newer versions of OSX. For me that is about 10.4

Do shell script honors only the environment set by the system without any user sign on.
