Hi again everyone,

Sorry for the double posting.

I've found QISA ( http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/Networking/QISA.htm ) and have solved all of the problems with my application.

I'm almost positive the main problem I was having was the umask problem:

// SCF requires that the EUID be 0 in order to open the database
// with the lock held, and to commit changes. Also, if you
// commit changes with a 077 umask (which was set that way by
// MoreSecDestroyInheritedEnvironment), bad things happen
// (non-privileged programs can no longer read the prefs!), so we
// have to reset umask to the default before committing changes.

I would like to thank Quinn and the rest of DTS for QISA!

Regards,
David
