Strange, I'll look into it later this week.  bundlebuilder2 and 
macholib are still in the experimental stages.  The version I have 
online may be older than what I built that example with.

Every bundle in OS X should have a unique bundle identifier.  Google

You should probably just wait until the situation has stabilized a bit 
and better tools are available.  It could be soon, but I am quite busy 
right now with paid work so I can't make any guarantees.
