Just an FYI that I have had several clients experiencing problems running AppleScripts with FileVault enabled. Disabling it fixed their problems immediately.

When I had FileVault turned on i could not use applescript to access
any of the files in my home directory. Any alias or string datatype
just failed when as tried to coerce it to a file pointer.

Anyone with the new cat able to reproduce this?

There are lots of problems being reported (MacInTouch; MacFixIt) with File
Vault. Lost Finder preferences and others.

I'm leaving File Vault off until we get past the initial release.

(And maybe longer...I stash a few particularly sensitive things in a PGP
Disk and others in the program Little Secrets (and I export the data from
Little Secrets into the PGP Disk volume now and then). Before upgrading to
Panther, I dumped the Little Secrets file into an unprotected space, just in
case.)
