Don't glom the arguments together.  Pass each as a separate array element: "-i", the URL string, "-c", "copy", the output string. And you don't need to quote the arguments, just pass them as is. I hope that makes sense -- I'd make it more code-like if I were at my desk rather than on my phone.

Interesting. I should mention I hadn't turned on sandboxing in this project. When I turn it on, and I set the "User Selected File" entitlement to "Read Only", I get the same behavior as before: TextEdit.app is selected in the panel's column view, and it's treated like a regular (non-bundle)
