The problem is that one of the hacks we had to put in that engine to
deal with the fact that the Finder doesn't set up the environment
properly interferes with running it from the command line. For now,
you've got to supply the full path for both the executable and for the
script file to run on the command line. There will be a workaround
for this in the next build, but note that bundles are something that
UNIX doesn't understand and so you should treat the engine executable
like any other unix binary (i.e., you don't need any of that other
stuff in the .app bundle to run it).
