Okay, so now I'm talking off the top of my head with little experience 
but...

I remember reading something about Apple's sandboxing rules, which say 
that apps can only access files outside the sandbox if the user 
specifically selects them, which is what happens when you use "answer 
file". If an app tries to access a file outside its sandbox without user 
interaction, permission is denied.

Could that be related?
