Console reports "sandboxd deny mach-lookup" ... Should I modify system.sb?

I'm getting two errors in the console at the same time TimeMachine is running and taking FOREVER to make any progress.

1/4/13 9:41:38.000 PM kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(5838) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd

The second entry is :

 mdworker32(5837) deny mach-lookup com.apple.PowerManagement.control (import 
 fstype:hfs fsflag:480D000 flags:200000056 diag:0 uti:com.microsoft.excel.openxml.addin
  plugin:/Library/Spotlight/Microsoft Office.mdimporter - find suspect file using: sudo mdutil -t 861170)

It has the following details:

When I run the above mentioned SUDO command I get

Based on the "access denied" error and that I've only backed up 3GB of data within 30 minutes on a firewire port makes me think something is broken.

Can anyone tell me where to go next in troubleshooting this?

Update: I found an article that says I should modify system.sb (located in /System/Library/Sandbox/Profiles) to include:

(allow mach-lookup (global-name "com.apple.ls.boxd"))

(allow mach-lookup (local-name "com.apple.ls.boxd"))

Can anyone help me understand what is going on and if I'm lowering security in any way at all?

Solution 1:

Seems a simple restart into safe mode can fix this.

Console reports "sandboxd deny mach-lookup" ... Should I modify system.sb?
