Did you try in inverting the problem, by letting the stack in the cgi folder and putting an alias of it in your user folder ? Else, by default, the macosx finder aliases are only usables inside the current home account of the logged user. Are you sure that the cgi script and stack owners are set as needed ? > I set the permissions for the stack in my user folder to 755.
