VST to AU Wrapper has known issues with both Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.x)  
and with Logic Studio/Express 8.x. I've experienced both of them.

With Leopard, the program seems to have problems retaining its  
database of wrapped plug-ins. It will reset to scan everything each  
time it is opened, as though it were the first time the program is  
launched.

With Logic Pro 8, it has a window redraw issue whereby it will not  
move the plug-in's GUI along with the plug-in window that is opened.

FXpansion says they aren't going to address either issue any time soon  
until they examine the VST3 protocol published by Steinberg to see if  
future development is worth it. This is according to posts by their  
programmers on their forums.

So, it might work for some plug-ins, that's the best that can be said  
if you're running the latest stuff. If you're going to use Logic Pro  
7.x in Mac OS X 10.4.x Tiger, it works flawlessly with quite a few  
plug-ins. But, they've basically stopped development on it, so caveat  
emptor.
