Integration Automator Action into project

Hello:

I seem to be missing something.  What needs to be added in Step 1?   
I've tried adding just the compiled Action, the entire project, and  
just the .xcodeproject file, and I've encountered problems with each  
step.

If I just add the compiled Actions to my project, they appear as  
folders in Xcode, but I can't copy the files over to the Copy Files  
build step.  Yet, I can copy single files (such as plist or image  
files) with no problems.

If I add the ENTIRE Automator project, I get compilation errors in  
the main project.

Regards,

Chad
