    I had this problem and eventually fixed it.  A few tips:

1. The updaters only work on SD 3.0.3, StuffIt Engine 3.0.3, and SpaceSaver 
1.0.2.  If you have earlier version you'll need to update to 3.0.3/1.0.2 before 
you can update to 3.0.4/1.0.3.

2.  Increase the Finder's memory allocation for the SD updater to 1024K.

3.  I thought this problem was unique to my hard disk, but maybe I was wrong.  
If the updater can't find the files try copying them onto a floppy and updating 
them there.  You'll need an HD floppy to update SD.  It may also work if you 
copy (i.e. option-drag, not merely move) the files you want to update to a 
different location on your hard disk.

    Let me put out a call for bug reports here.  Has anyone else found that 
StuffIt Deluxe 3.0.3/StuffIt SpaceSaver 1.0.2/StuffIt Engine 3.0.3 fail to 
appear in OpenFile dialog boxes like they should for applications like ResEdit? 
I had this problem and attributed it to corruption in my hard disk's data 
strcutures likely caused by Norton Utilities about a month ago.  However 
updating those three files (by moving them onto floppies and updating them 
there since the updaters were some of the applications that couldn't find 
them) fixed the problem with my hard disk's data structures as far as Norton 
could tell.  (Norton had been unable to fix them previously.)
