Andy,

It turned out to be a problem with that specific copy of the app-go  
figure.

Here's what I've found out:

1) Sparkle replaces the custom icon after an update. This is an issue  
for some of our users.
2) Sparkle replaces the entire app directory, not just the  
differences between the update and the existing app - which won't  
work for our users, and there's customized graphics inside the  
application and a custom plist
3) Sparkle is awesome! If I'd developed any other type of app, this  
would've been perfect as is...

OK,

so now to try the trunk version and a .pkg file....

OR, modify my app to copy the personalized bits elsewhere during the  
update process and pull them back in....

Thanks for the help.
