Sven,

Without putting a test.st file in /Users/daleh/gsDevKitHome/pharo, I get the following (it works if I `cp ./test.st /Users/daleh/gsDevKitHome/pharo`):

nehalem:junk daleh$ pwd

/Users/daleh/junk

nehalem:junk daleh$ cat test.st

#!/Users/daleh/gsDevKitHome/pharo/pharo-vm/Pharo.app/Contents/MacOS/Pharo --headless /Users/daleh/gsDevKitHome/pharo/todeClient.image st --quit

FileStream stdout nextPutAll: 42 factorial asString; cr.

nehalem:junk daleh$ ./test.st

FileDoesNotExist: File @ /Users/daleh/gsDevKitHome/pharo/test.st

Are you using the shebang or direct version ?
In any case, I am always using absolute paths.
Does that not work for you ?
