Thank you so much for that hint!
I had always wondered why SetFile had ceased to function as it used to under previous incarnations of OS X.

Might be too simple, but what about using the binary from version 1.1?

Classic case showing why Apple should release source to their command line tools. There is nothing proprietary here and they would be releasing to the community that could fix a little problem like this in 10 minutes.

I wish I had known about the work around sooner. I reported the bug to Apple and it is supposed to be fixed in the latest XCode 1.5 seed update.

My thanks also, monkeycow! I was just about to try backdating /Developer/Tools/SetFile when I saw this hint. Now I can wait for the next Xcode update.
