At the moment I'm not sure why exactly Disk Utility must report special permissions status in this unsettling (for many users) fashion. I'm quite sure the info in Apple doc "Disk Utility reports some messages that you can ignore when checking permissions " <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107298> is still valid. Here's an overview article: "Troubleshooting permissions issues in Mac OS X " <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106712> Another shorter article about Disk Utility and permissions: "About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature" <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751>
