Launch agent problems with Mountain Lion

Hi, I am experiencing a problem with Mountain Lion and Insta DMG. Creating a launch agent using a specific bash script used to work just fine on Lion and older, but on Mountain Lion it doesn't create the launch agent properly. The result created a through Mountain Lion is different from the one created through Lion and earlier. Also I can't get it to run, despite giving it execute permission (chmod +x). Any ideas on how to fix that? The script is attached below, the resulting launch agent from Mountain Lion is yet further below and the result that I get under Lion is in the end (but it still doesn't work when created manually): --------

#!/bin/sh

# Install startup settings Launchd item and corresponding script.
# Script by Walter Meyer

# Declare 'defaults'and 'PlistBuddy'.
defaults="/usr/bin/defaults"
PlistBuddy="/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy"

# Define directory variables.
PKG_DIR="$1/Contents/Resources"
SCRIPTS_DIR="$3/Library/Typofonic"
LAUNCHD_DIR="$3/Library/LaunchDaemons"

# Create scripts directory.
mkdir "${SCRIPTS_DIR}"

# Copy startupssettings.sh scripts to the scripts directory.
cp "${PKG_DIR}/startupsettings.sh" "${SCRIPTS_DIR}"
cp "${PKG_DIR}/startupsettings.sh" "${SCRIPTS_DIR}"

# Install Launchd item to /Library/LaunchDaemons. Change com.typofonic.startupsettings to your orginization.

$defaults write "${LAUNCHD_DIR}/com.typofonic.startupsettings" Label com.typofonic.startupsettings
$defaults write "${LAUNCHD_DIR}/com.typofonic.startupsettings" ProgramArguments -array
$PlistBuddy -c "Add :ProgramArguments: string /Library/Scripts/startupsettings.sh" "${LAUNCHD_DIR}/com.typofonic.startupsettings.plist"
$defaults write "${LAUNCHD_DIR}/com.typofonic.startupsettings" RunAtLoad -bool YES

# Give Launchd item correct permissions.

chown root:wheel "${LAUNCHD_DIR}/com.typofonic.startupsettings.plist"
chmod 644 "${LAUNCHD_DIR}/com.typofonic.startupsettings.plist"

exit 0

Here's the launchagent from Mountain Lion:





	Label
	com.typofonic.startupsettings
	ProgramArguments
	RunAtLoad

I would have expected something like this, but despite manually creating this Mountain Lion still doesn't execute it on boot:





	Label
	com.typofonic.startupsettings
	ProgramArguments
	
		/Library/Typofonic/startupsettings.sh
	
	RunAtLoad

Hope someone might have some ideas! Have a great weekend! Anders
