Dyld: Library not Loaded Error Mac OS

Hoookay,

So I know I'm about to get a dozen "load the lib dummy" answers to this, but here goes...

junk.framework is exporting some objects of another project (junk.app) so I can use it on a remote.app node on a cluster. I can compile junk.framework (which I realize means nothing anymore with dynamic loading) and compile and link remote.app to junk.framework.

However, when I run remote.app I get this lovely jewel of an error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/libtiff.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/slate/Documents/junk/build/Development/junk.framework/Versions/A/junk
  Reason: image not found

I think what is going on is that junk.framework is loading libtiff.dylib from a certain location and it can't find it. junk.framework is another project I'm working on that I just got to build (finally).

When I get info on libtiff.dylib in my junk target it gives me /Users/slate/Documents/osirix/osirix/Binaries/LibTiff/libtiff.dylib as a path... and I've got absolute path selected. So why is it not looking there for it?

Uh... why is it looking at @executable_path/../???? Where on earth is that setting so I can change it?

Edit ---

otool -L gives me this:

The @executable_path setting was specified when libtiff.dylib was built. (If you build your own dylib or framework, it's the installation directory (INSTALL_PATH) build setting.) It can be changed with the install_name_tool command.
