The problem - what problem?
One wrinkle remains however with Island Anims. They cannot be inside a pbo. Neither their own, nor any other. This then prevents relative references being made to them. They must be hard wired to a known folder.
I think this is not true. I see no reason for this. Opening Island Anim files is done the same way as any other file in OFP and it really should use pbo as appropriate.

relative path to cutscene
haven't looked at this issue for some time now, but certainly intend to with ArmA
cutscenes[]={"..\ADDONS\doe1_anim\intro"};
the ..\
is the problem. It pulls pack to the root directory from (I dont' know where) and as such a hardwired folder is required. (you cant use an \addon(.pbo), nor, for that matter ..\addon(.pbo)
it can't find the addon(.pbo) as such.

if wrong, i'm wrong, but i am not aware of ANY user created island that has successfully attached an anim other than a hardwired folder (conventionally \Addons\anim\blah)
