I was trying to reproduce this on my own machine, but couldn't get out
of the starting gate.  I put an executable shell script into
"/System Folder/Startup Items", but I couldn't see any evidence that the
system paid any attention to it at all.  Exactly what are you doing to
tell OSX to run a bit of shell script at boot time?
