Emily and Alexander,
Thanks for the information and tips. As it turns out, I found a workaround for the broken SetFile command on macosxhints.com. I've quoted it below for people who run into this issue in the future. It worked for me.

Xcode 1.2 has a broken version of SetFile, which is used to set various parameters for files. When you supply letters for the -a (attributes) option, SetFile runs without an error, but then no new settings are applied.
There's a weird workaround, though. To disable the attribute, use the uppercase letter (instead of lowercase, as it should be). To enable the attribute, write the lowercase letter of the attribute followed immediately by the uppercase letter of the same attribute.
Here's an example for Invisibility:
Enable: SetFile -a vV some_file Disable: SetFile -a V some_file

SetFile is broken in XCode 1.2. Upgrading to XCode 1.5 will fix it, but
will also introduce problems compiling certain programs (see Fink's home
page for more info).
