Everytime I try to update via Software Update I get this:
Can anyone help? I have attempted to repair permissions and no luck. I also get the same when trying to update Watson.
I know I am the Adminsistrator....I have never had this issue in the past.

Looks like some permission setting has been messed up. Open up a terminal and enter:
sudo bash
...and hit Enter. If asked, enter your admin password and hit Enter again.
Then type:
chmod 777 private/tmp/ [ENTER]
chmod 755 /tmp/501/ [ENTER]
chmod 755 /tmp/501/TemporaryItems/ [ENTER]
chmod 644 /tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate [ENTER]
This will set the permissions as they usually are supposed to be. If it still doesn't work, PM me or send me a mail: danB(at)advancedscripting.de
Greetings,

[EDIT: Just saw that you already tried repairing permissions - but I suggest you try to do it manually anyway, perhaps some flaw prevented the correct permissions to be set?]
