Angry Outrageous

The reaction by Intego is outrageous. The problem clearly is caused by VirusBarrier X5 after the 10.5.3 update. If you do in Terminal:
Code:
cd /Library/Intego/virusbarrier.bundle/Contents/Resources
ls -le
You will find that the four files at the top of the list are the ones that cause the problem (trimmed the rest of the list):
Code:
ls:  \001: Operation not permitted
ls:  \002: Operation not permitted
ls:  \003: Operation not permitted
ls:  \004: Operation not permitted
total 3256
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     132 18 jul 00:01 ActivatedArchives.dat
The solution suggested by Intego does not work.
However, disabling Real-Time Scanner before you start the backup will enable SuperDuper! to complete the backup normally.

Interestingly, when you look for the four files in virusbarrier.bundle while Real-Time Scanner is disabled, the files appear to be changed:
Code:
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel       0 18 jul 00:01  ?
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel       0 18 jul 00:01  ?
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel       0 18 jul 00:01  ?
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel       0 18 jul 00:01  ?
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     132 18 jul 00:01 ActivatedArchives.dat
And after re-enabling Real-Time Scanner the list looks again as before.

Now, doesn't this point to VirusBarrier as the culprit ?
