I don't know why you aren't finding your resource, but the fact that the 
Resource Manager is returning "noErr" was a deliberate "feature". I honestly 
don't know why it does this, but the Resource Manager intentionally doesn't 
set ResError to resNotFound if it can't find the resource on a Get(1)Resource 
call. To add to the bizarreness of it all, Get(1)NamedResource DOES set 
ResError.
