Yes, I understand that it is Volumes/Michael's Home/Users/Michael/.Xauthority
As mentioned in my previous post, the problem seems to be your use of single quote "'" and spaces " " in your pathname. Both are highly problematic and should be avoided at all costs... especially for something like your home directory. My assertion remains that this *IS* the source of the problem.
