Well, I was only hard linking the files within the frameworks since I knew that although directory hard links existed, they weren't available outside of TM. I've since added the (much longer) @loader_path/../../../../../Frameworks to my runpath search paths for the Automator action (since I'm using @rpaths) and am now removing the frameworks in a build step after the action is embedded. This seems to work well in my case. As long as I don't screw up the script and wipe out my hard drive. ;) Always a little nervous automating file deletions.
