Multibeast failing due to Repair Permissions problem

[draymis]

Just wanted to put this out there as an FYI:

Had a problem with Multibeast install repeated failing, and narrowed it down to the installer kept crashing when running scripts at the end, giving me an "installation failed" error.

I tried to run disk utilities and repair permissions manually, but got the error "repair permissions failed: framework unable to communicate with disk managementtool" - hence why the MB installer kept crashing.

I've erased the hard drive, and reinstalled SL at least 5 times, but same error every time.

Everything else works fine, thankfully, and If I install MultiBeast without 'repair permissions' checked, then reboot and manually repair permissions, all is well.

Quite strange...

If you're using the Lion version of Multibeast, there shouldn't be an option to repair disk permissions, just rebuild cache.
