What size is your icon? I think that only some "native" sizes are  
supported on Mac or some scaling might take place and cause you to  
loose the alpha channel. If you icon is not (64x64, 128x128), you  
might want to try one with one of those sizes.


Also I am not sure how well using .ico files works under mac you might  
have better luck with a .png image.


Hope this helps, otherwise if you can provide a small runnable sample  
to test with I can check it out.
