I had exactly this problem last spring. Doing Command-Q as soon as it 
started eventually allowed me to get back to normal state, and I did 
reboots just to be on the safe side.

This was very annoying. If I remeber correctly, there wasn't a special 
combinaison of software -other than iTunes- that started this "bug". It 
stopped after a few weeks after (if I remeber correctly again) doing 
some system update.

But your system is already up-to-date ! I guess you already tried 
repairing permissions. Do you have an external HD?

I'm pretty sure your HD -is- ok. It's really software related and 
iTunes is one of the suspects.

Good luck
