Yes I did.

I tried several variations on that one. Apparently one cannot start SyncServer.app either via double-click in the Finder, nor from the command line -- Console reports "User's SyncServer must not be launched except by launchd. Exiting process."
So I tried launchctl and "start com.apple.syncservices.SyncServer", which reliably reproduces the popup error message about updatedb but fails to start the process.
Whether or not the Rosetta checkbox is checked seems to make no difference whatsoever.
Rebooting made no difference either, except that "something" is unchecking the Rosetta checkbox during a reboot.
I think my best guess at this point is simply that my upgradedb executable is corrupted for some reason. Everything seems to be depending on that one.
Anybody know how to get dtrace to print out a list of files that it is accessing, I want to run it on upgradedb to see whether that gives me a clue ... and now that ktrace is gone and I don't know how to use dtrace ...
