EDIT: Whoops just saw the other posts before this which might answer my question....The fix only appears to work for K4PC? jhowell, could you please make a similar fix for the mac?

@jhowell — Intriguing! I will test chmod -w when I get a chance.

ETA: chmod -w works!

In the meantime, @Inukami, I replaced the "updates" folder with an empty text file also named "updates" (no extension). It seems to be working. See this post.
