Postflight action (create alias) not working

Hi,
 
I'm using OS 10.5.6 and PackageMaker 3.0.3 (174).
 
In the Distribution --> Actions tab, I have specified two Postinstall actions, "Show file in Finder" and "Create Alias".  For Create Alias, I am pointing to "component" and have selected "MyProgram.app".  I have also tried specifying the "absolute path". 
 
There are no warnings or errors when I build the package, but the postinstall actions don't work.
 
As a test, I tried the Open URL postflight action, and that *did* work.
 
I'm new to PackageMaker, and building installers on the Mac in general.  Anyone know why this wouldn't work, or can provide more info than is in the manual?
 
Thanks,
Andrew
