I had to add those types to the application after it was created.  So the
application was right there, already parsed, and then I added the Types,
but that didn't make Launch Services parse the application again.  So it
didn't work correctly for me.

But after reading your response I sent the application to a friend and it
worked for him without anything special.  That's great.  Thanks for your
help.
