You might try moving it to another location as sometimes the Finder 
doesn't quite know what is going on. By using the .plugin (or .bundle) 
extension, the Finder should identify it as a bundle and not a folder. 
Here's the Info.plist from the Mark/Space MemoPad Conduit. Important 
pieces are the package type and bundle signature. What does yours look 
like? The info below is much newer than the sample conduit.
