 The system log gets filled with messages from macports warning about a
 deny on file-write-create operations.
 {{{
 6/22/12 3:50:50.549 PM sandboxd: ([1231]) mdworker(1231) deny file-write-
 create
 /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist.lockfile
 }}}
 It seems the macports user (and it's processes) need write access on
 directory
  * /opt/local/var/macports/home/Library/Preferences/[[BR]]
 After granting user macports write access on the directory the following
 two files are created.
 {{{
 -rw-------  1 macports  admin   58 Jun 23 00:47
 com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
 -rwxr-xr-x  1 macports  admin    0 Jun 23 00:47
 com.apple.LaunchServices.plist.lockfile
 }}}
