SDAgent 176 is not running as root
 

Got a new Mac Pro. Clean install of Snow Leopard. Latest version of SD (86). SD is working fine on 6 other Macs in the house with Snow Leopard.

App launches fine, but after changing a few options, authenticating as an admin user (there is only one user on the system BTW), and launching a copy, the app immediately closes.

/var/log/system.log contains:

Re-lock and re-unlock the lock in the main window, Dobbler.

I thought I had tried that at least once before... :rolleyes:

But indeed that did the trick. Thank you. :D

I was just now getting this error too in the console, after the app would just quit after starting a copy. The unlock trick fixes it, thanks.

It would have been nice to have at least some kind of error displayed instead of it mysteriously quitting on me :)

Agreed, an indication of the problem would be nice.
