Well, I've read there are people who are smarter than me that manage to keep their home folders on other drives.  And these are generally power users who will certainly be using LaunchAgents.  So I know there is a way to do that, if you really want to.  I've just never done it myself!

With home folder on boot drive, all is working as expected, including BookMacster! Thanks for the tip.

Seems none of the user agents in ~/Library/LaunchAgents are running. They all show "Path had bad ownership/permissions" when using launchctl load. I've also noted that on start up I have Failed to bootstrap Agent with the same errors on BookMacster agents.

I've tried with the external drive Ignore Ownership enabled (default) and disabled. With a restart between each. No difference, agents still fail.

ACLs are same as other Agents and show no extra settings when running ls -leOa. Ownership is correct as well.

Ah, home directory on a different disk. Yes, we run it on an external RAID. I'll give your suggestions a try.

Hello, Out of Control.

I've never seen this Caller specified a plist with bad ownership/permissions thing before.  The POSIX permissions of the three BookMacster launchd files you listed with ls -la are normal.

Some ideas:

• Try ls -leOa ~/Library/LaunchAgents and compare with the result of ls -la.  Any additional text indicates that Access Control Lists (ACL) or Finder flags may be restricting access.
• Try that on the parent directory LaunchAgents itself.
• If your Home Directory is on a different disk, maybe you need to switch on Ignore permissions as explained here, although these guys seemed to have better luck switching it off.

Launchd giving bad ownership/permissions

I've just re-installed BookMacster on a clean machine. All my bookmarks have been synced with export and all browsers have the exact same set of bookmarks.

I noticed after a day of adding a few bookmarks, only the browser in which I added the bookmarks, had those new bookmarks. The other browsers didn't appear to be syncing. I tried exporting again so all browsers had identical bookmarks, and then adding a few more bookmarks. After several attempts, including redoing the settings in BookMacster, still no go.

When I looked in Console, I saw that the Launch Daemons were not running. I restarted the computer, and added a new bookmark in Safari. The following is the console output:

I'm wondering what I might have done wrong, or what BookMacster might have done wrong in the installation? Any thoughts on this issue?

Thanks in advance.
