Either of those locations should allow your application to work. Do you need to also add a qt.conf file into the Contents/Resources directory? I can not remember exactly when you need to put it in.

I have not reverse engineered the script to see what that is, but it generates a working bundle were fixup_bundle falls a bit short.
