Thanks for responding, Pete. It’s a relief finally knowing someone else has seen this problem though obviously I’d rather it weren’t happening to anyone at all. Still no solution or new insights after a bit more tinkering.

Btw, I also had a problem with the "invisible" attribute bit of the separate /Users volume (mounted with a UUID entry in /etc/fstab) being enabled, which DiskWarrior repaired and caused some weird Finder-related symptoms to disappear. And it happened "randomly" one other time, but not again since toggling it visible again and setting Finder prefs to display hard disks on the Desktop to hopefully notice it sooner. I think there’s some correlation between that and the AFP permission snafu.

Interesting you think your problem may be a side effect of a RAID volume upgrade. I’ve had similar speculation about having used iPartition to resize volumes on two of my three systems (and iDefrag Lite on all three). I’ll be contacting Coriolis Systems about that possibility sometime this week.

Back again later when there’s anything worthwhile to report …
