Thanks! That fixed it for me! Apparently it doesn't just look in the  
current directory if you only specify a file name without a path. It  
seems like it should default to looking in the current directory.

So my script runs now, but even with -headless it displays the Squeak  
splash screen and the VM never exits. I have to manually kill the  
process. Is there something I should do at the end of my script to  
make it exit? It seems like with -headless it should always exit when  
it reaches the end of the script.
