I've tried making the arguments only 1 entry in the array, and the same thing; I've both quoting and not quoting the arguments, and the same thing; I've tried using a dash with the options and without, and the same thing--always status=2 (fatal error).
You should unquote those paths, because ...
I do something very similar. The only difference is I'm not constructing a path via stringWithFormat. I'm using either NSString's "fileSystemRepresentation" [...]
... NSTask does that for you automatically -- see the documentation on -setArguments: and +launchedTaskWithLaunchPath:arguments:. So the additional quotes might actually make NSTask -- or, more precisely: [NSString fileSystemRepresentation] -- choke on your paths. (I haven't ever tested this, though. Maybe NSTask is smart enough to strip those superfluous quotes if necessary.)
As far as getting that error 2 for unquoted paths is concerned, it would definitely be interesting to see whether logging your arguments to the console yields the exact same paths you've used when doing this successfully in Terminal.
