icon in Dock

Hello,

Before I begin I should say, I am a certifiable newbie at creating installer packages.

Some background: My manager dropped this project in my lap, being the only Mac user in the organization and I have no real choice in the matter.
We have an application that could be a drag & drop install, but will be installed using Installer.app. Only reason being the manager wants the app's icon in the Dock.

Problem is I am not a programmer and only have some basic knowledge of applescripting and even less of shell scripting.

To create a .mpkg I used Packages and am trying to use emmett to put the icon in the Dock by using a postinsall.sh to do the lifting. Nothing I have tried so far has worked. From Terminal I use
'path/to/emmett add /Applications/foo.app'
which works a treat. If I use the same code in the postinstall.sh it fails.

Please, can one of you folks point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help.

/Oak
