[Gimp-developer] A question about python gimpfu - "home folder"

On a Mac running gimp2.4.5

   print "gimp.directory = %s" % gimp.directory
prints
    gimp.directory = /Users/paultaney/Library/Application Support/Gimp

...but my plugin fails to run from there.  It does not appear in the menus. 

Nor will it run from ~/.gimp-2.4/plug-ins  or ~/.gimp-2.4/scripts

I have only managed to make it run from one location:

% cat push.sh
cp stroke_to_vector.py  /Applications/Gimp.app//Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/
chmod +x  /Applications/Gimp.app//Contents/Resources/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/stroke_to_vector.py
