Don't worry, I don't think you're the only one :)

Yes. Sounds like the script may skip plugins?

Not getting an error is a good sign, but that doesn't mean you gave the correct input. I'd try with a full path instead of using the tilde for referring to your homedir; too often I've had to handle expansion of that notation in my own code so I no longer trust shells to do it for me.

I presume you checked the effect of your command with otool? And the location where plugins have to be stored. Oh, and you're not by chance running on a case-sensitive filesystem and using your own capitalisation (PlugIns where the distribution directory has plugins in all lower case)?!
