Note that if your goal is to replicate what the Finder does, you
should use the 'ditto' command instead. From the man page:
The command:
ditto -c -k --sequesterRsrc --keepParent src_directory archive.zip
will create a PKZip archive similarly to the Finder's Compress function-
ality.
This gives you a zip file with the same structure and semantics as
what Finder does, and also nice things like preserving resource forks
(as well as, presumably, the symlink thing).
