2007-009 Security Update: Can't install as admin

For some reason, I can't install the latest security update, which Apple seems to be pushing pretty hard.



If I run it from Software Update, I got a message telling me I do not have the "appropriate access privileges". This is despite that fact that I'm an admin user and I entered the correct password. Furthermore, when I downloaded the update and tried to run it from a .pkg file, it wouldn't let me install it on my hard drive.



Then I decided to switch to a second admin user account and I was able to install that update?



Any ideas as to why this happened? Is it possible some files were created in that second user's name that needed to be overwritten?
