To follow up, I did some research. I took an old app, which had 47 
items in the Frameworks folder. I updated it using Packagemaker. The 
Frameworks folder now had 60 items in it. I started the app and it 
bombed. I then simply deleted the Frameworks folder, ran the updater 
again, and then the Frameworks folder again only had 47 items in it. 
The app ran properly.

It seems that RB breaks up an rbx and puts digits behind it, like this:

MBS Real Studio Util Plugin.rbx_16.dylib

It looks like Packagemaker doesn't erase the .app bundle, then write 
the new one, but instead merges the folders. This causes problems, 
see the example above. When the Frameworks folder had 60 items in it, 
it had 13 extra MBS Real Studio [xxxx] Plugin.rbx-{xx].dylib files 
that were leftover from the previous install. This causes issues with 
the new build.

I know this is more of a Packagemaker problem (although I thoroughly 
expected PM to work better than this), and I'd like some answers in 
that way, but are there any comments to be made about MBS and how 
REAL compiles it's plug in?

I'm posting to the NUG too.
