That's really odd. Do you have any handlers that delete files? Could 
there be a path issue, so that your app's files are getting removed 
instead of the intended ones?

When your user said it ran fine in 10.6, was he running from a USB drive 
there too? If your scripts don't specifically account for external 
drives, the default folder will be the one containing your standalone 
inside the bundle. If you have any recursive file deletion handlers, 
that could be the cause. It's a long shot but it's all I can think of.
