[snip] In the past when I tried to install security updates via ARD 1.2 SoftwareUpdate wouldn't recognize that the update was installed and the update would show up in the list next time SoftwareUpdate ran. Its been a long time since I looked at this but I think the problem had to do with permissions on the receipts.

Yes, the problem was that only root could read the receipts, so when you ran softwareupdate as a non-root user, it would show updates which were already installed. AFAICT, this problem has been fixed. I'm still using 1.2 to install updates, and the permissions are now such that anybody can read the receipts.
