Why is the privileged process asking Spotlight for anything?  Try to
factor as much code as possible out of your privileged tool.

In this particular instance, don't forget that Spotlight importers can
live in ~/Library/Spotlight as well as within app bundles in
~/Applications.  Any answer that MDSchemaCopyAllAttributes() would
give you when running as root might be incorrect for the user who's
actually the results.
