CFPreferences and Mountain Lion

Hi all,

My preferences code strictly uses the CFPreferences api and has worked reliably since Tiger. On Mountain Lion Preview 4 (with the recent update), though, preferences writing has been erratic, sometimes my preferences are updated correctly, sometimes not. Are there any known issues with CFPreferences on Mountain Lion?

I found this similar problem another developer is having:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/munki-dev/fzp3SubBTJ0

There is a statement there, "In 10.8 preferences are all cached by a preference daemon, and the point at which it reads from/writes to disk is not reliable..." Is that true? Is so, how can one be sure that preferences are updated at all? Is there any doc on the behavior of cfprefsd? The man page says basically nothing.

Thanks,
Michael Domino
