I notice you're crashing on thread 10. Do you instantiate a new
NSFileManager instance with alloc/init per thread? Using + [NSFileManager
defaultManager] from a background thread will cause problems (and note that
NSFileManager alloc/init doesn't work properly on 10.4 and earlier).

Where did you read that NSFileManager is not thread safe? It's part of the Foundation framework, which should be thread safe unless documented otherwise (and I can't find any documentation to that effect).

Did you look at the thread safety summary?

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Multithreading/ThreadSafetySummary/chapter_950_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000057i-CH12-122647-BBCCEGFF

Also, it's never proper to use alloc/init on NSFileManager, no matter
what the OS X version.

Not correct. See the Foundation release notes for 10.5:
