If you want to delete the cache, it's much easier to use the /System/ Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister tool - it can kill your database and re-create it from the standard locations easily. Just run it with no arguments for help using it.

Your problem is most certainly either that the OS has a cached version of the icon in the LaunchServices cache, or there is a problem with the plist.

Suffice it to say, I had to study this problem at great lengths. In fact, one of my debug builds looks exactly like your picture. I believe in that case the OS is pulling the 'old' classic icon set out because the new icon is not in the resource bundle.

The launch services cache is:

/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.6B.csstore

You'll want to delete that file, and there might be another one in your user folder. And then log in and log out.

If you goog on Launch Services cache you'll find a bunch of useful stuff.
