Some observations, for what they're worth:
I've found that the Component Manager always finds new or changed AUs if I
drag them into a Components folder in Finder. If the components have more
or less "gradually appeared" via building them in Project Builder into
the final location for the first time, then I almost always have problems,
but I can solve the problem by dragging the component out and then back
inside in Finder. I definitely don't know the underlying technical
issues, but it seems to me that there is some sort of monitoring of the
special enchanted locations where copying or moving activities will be
noticed. Perhaps the installer does those in a way that is not noticed by
this monitoring.
Anyway, I don't know if this is all of much use, but I've recently at
least found that rebooting doesn't ever seem to be required and that, in
those bad situations, simply manually dragging out and dragging back in
the component will make it become known. I wish that I could find a
better solution (certainly that makes for a not so useful installer),
though.
