I've got several applications that started failing in this way, but only if I run them as me. If I log in as a different user, the applications run fine. mike did you ever find out what was causing the err=22 failure ?

I've got several applications that started failing in this way, but only if I run them as me. If I log in as a different user, the applications run fine.

Unfortunately, I have no clue what to tell him. He has tried it as another user on his machine, as well as root, with the same error. Nothing special on his machine that he knows of... Ideas?

Perhaps I was just too clever for my own good. I have a 'Games' folder, but most of them installed with permissions set so that only I (the installer) could play them. Since the 'Get Info' permissions options don't affect folders, I dropped down to a Terminal prompt and used 'find' and 'chmod' to change the permissions manually. Unfortunately, in the process, a bunch of the games suddenly wouldn't run. When I double-click the icon, it would appear briefly in the dock, then go away. No errors that I saw at first. This went on for a couple of weeks, and then I happened to load the Console app and wondered what might pop up in there when I ran one of the broken games. I got the err=22 error you encountered. So I thought about it a bit (I'm a Unix weenie) and took a look at the file listed in the error. Hmmm, it is the actual program that is actually executed, yet it lacks 'eXecute' permissions. And, voila! If your problem is the same as mine, a 'chmod +x /Users/db/Utilities/SpamSieve.app/Contents/MacOS/SpamSieve' ought to fix it. If not, it certainly won't hurt.
