Perhaps the problem is Snow Leopard - We should assume the old resource fork is officially unsupported and not working in SN. They've been planning on removing resource forks from files for a decade. Back in the hypercard days, one could use the resource fork like today's custom properties in Rev. I would store text, sounds, binaries, images as resources. I remember the resource system wasn't as robust as Rev as far as file integrity; there would be occasional problems with resources, but it worked pretty well.
Have you tried this on another machine, perhaps one running Tiger or below?
