Comment (by neverpanic):

 I'm not quite sure why curl (actually probably CommonCrypto) uses
 Spotlight (which is what these mds files are, if I'm not mistaken) to find
 its certificates, but I guess we can add a sandbox exception.

 I'd favor not making this `file-write-data /private/var/db`, though,
 because `/private/var/db` contains a number of important system
 configuration files, such as the DirectoryService database, which contains
 all your users, in `/private/var/db/dslocal`, the launchd overrides, the
 dyld cache and a file suspiciously named `auth.db`. Let's add
 `/private/var/db/mds` as an exception.
