It seems the server's had a bit of trouble today... _Bill_Ding had made a post, but it disappeared.
Anyway, the answer is that the numbers you are using for the hardpoints are not integers. Instead of <integer>...</integer> use <real>...</real>.

ah.  heh, heh... I promise I know what an integer is.... thanks! And thanks for pointing me to the Property List Editor. I KNEW there had to be a better way than doing it in a text editor!

hmmm.... it worked. kind of. I was able to control where the shots fired from in the x direction, but no matter what I put in the y (and maybe the z... I can't tell exactly what's going on there), nothing changes. Just for fun I peeked at the marauder, and from what it looks like in the game, I don't think it's getting the -.25 shift that's in the .evh file. Either I'm being dense again, or there's a bug... 
Like how good I am at being nitpicky?

Hmm, I'll have to check and see what's going on.
Also, the way the coordinates work, +x is forward along the spaceship's long axis, +y is vertical upward, and +z is out the right wing.

wow, I'm good at confusing myself... it was the z direction that varied, I couldn't tell if x was working, and I couldn't get y to change at all. I had the numbers in the right spots.. just confused which direction was which

The space coordinate system is LHS, I think. At any rate, once I got it working, I left it alone.

okay. I'm probably being a complete moron again, but every time I try to change the namespace of my plugin (http://www.coe.utah.edu/~abigelow/Ssyssylwyssna.bundle.zip), the thing crashes. It works fine with the change in the CFBundleExecutable field, but every time I change the name of the file in the MacOS folder from "Default" to "Ssyssylwyssna" the thing dies.   Anyone know what I'm doing wrong this time?

Those are nice ships... I like the texture job you've done.
As for crashing, try deleting the executable file entirely... I made a change so that you can do that, but I don't remember if I've uploaded a version with that change yet.
Also, I see what you mean about the hardpoints only being in the plane. I'll look into that.

Well, I found the problem with the hardpoints... I'd never added the y coordinate to the weapon launching code
That'll be updated in the next release.
