This solves the issue of the AIR virtual instruments not knowing the path to their respective content (.big) files when being launched for the first time.

Thanks to Tim Sutton for the original inspiration for scripting this in postinstall (better than what I was doing before - dumping the plist files in the User Template!) - slight tweaks added to set correct permissions and make things a bit more idempotent.
