What is the meaning of exit code 3 from Rez? - macos

Question

An XCode project on OSX 10.6 fails building due to exit code 3 when trying to run Rez. What does this mean? I'm sure the files exist and all paths are set correctly, and have valid content. Google and AltaVista turn up nothing but others with the same question.
More generally, since I have a talent for creating errors on OSX, is there a list of all possible exit codes for Rez and what they mean? Are these standard among all of Apples command line programs?
UPDATE:
Here's the first .r file that Rez tries to compile, but stops with exit code 3:
// The About box and resources are created in PIUtilities.r.
// You can easily override them, if you like.
#define plugInName "HackFormat"
#define plugInCopyrightYear "1957"
#define plugInDescription \

};

};
// end file
and, from the xcode Build Results window, (just for this first .r file; rest are same)

Command /Developer/Tools/Rez failed with exit code 3

Answer 1

From the Rez man page:
Rez can return the following status codes:
0 no errors
1 error in parameters
2 syntax error in resource description file
3 I/O or program error

Answer 2

man I'm just tagging along on this. I get Command /Developer/usr/bin/Rez failed with exit code 3
I've been looking everywhere for a comprehensive list of exit codes without any luck. Or at least any information on exit code 3.
Update: I just found this in here http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/codesign.1.html (I'm not sure if this applies in any way to xcode as it seems to be part of the darwin documentation and I know very little about it):
codesign exits 0 if all operations succeed. This indicates that all codes were signed, or all codes
verified properly as requested. If a signing or verification operation fails, the exit code is 1. Exit
code 2 indicates invalid arguments or parameters.
Exit code 3 indicates that during verification, all
path(s) were properly signed but at least one of them failed to satisfy the requirement specified with
the -R option.
For verification, all path arguments are always investigated before the program exits. For all other
operations, the program exits upon the first error encountered, and any further path arguments are
ignored, unless the --continue option was specified, in which case codesign will defer the failure exit
until after it has attempted to process all path arguments in turn.
Again I'm not sure but seems to be a permissions problem. Will investigate further!

Answer 3

I have found the problem! In Project Setting, there was a bad path in Rez Prefix File. It's supposed to be a path to a file MachOMacrezXcode.h. Now it is obvious that this file wasn't being found when I look at the Build Results. I have copied this file into my project source (since I want no dependencies on the original sample code I'm taking source from) and fixed the path.
