Permissions problems?
I got this while trying to repair my permissions after a failed update:
Repairing permissions for ?Macintosh HD?
Warning: SUID file "usr/libexec/load_hdi" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources/DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DesktopServicesPriv.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Locum" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Install.framework/Versions/A/Resources/runner" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Admin.framework/Versions/A/Resources/readconfig" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Admin.framework/Versions/A/Resources/writeconfig" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "usr/libexec/authopen" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/OwnerGroupTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired.
Is this bad? If so, how do I fix it? Would these in any way cause problems with USB transfers (which I am also experiencing difficulties with)? When I try to transfer off my flashdrive, it says I do not have sufficient privileges to do so.

Apple Support says you can, "You can safely ignore these messages. They are accurate but not a cause for concern."
Don't waste your time doing an Archive and Install! Those errors are normal. See the Apple Support article titled, "Mac OS X 10.5: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions reports issues with SUID files"

Ah, sweet, thank you.
