Graham, I've had similar hair pulling experiences. Mathias' instructions are great initial steps. What you need to do after you get the developer certificate and get it into your keychain, is to actually do the signing. I've tried App Wrapper 3, which a lot of folks have used, but found that it somehow messed with reading files that I needed for my app, and once signed, wouldn't work. Rather that debug what was happening, I tried the livecode signing app distributed by Monte and/or Trevor. It worked like a charm. The last step was to make a disc image that could be downloaded from a web site. I tried (not exactly sure of the precise names) dropDMG and DMGcanvas. I found DMG canvas to be the easiest to use.
That's it. You might search the list emails to find the link to download the signing stack. I am not on my work computer now, but will post it if you can't find it.
