Unexpected Error Occurred (error code -600) after Leopard Installation

Installed Leopard for the second time.

Everything seems to work fine, but after opening and then closing Mail, I'm unable to open it via the dock. Tried to open by selecting from the applications menu, and get the following message:

The operation could not be completed.
An unexpected error occurred (error code -600)

Same thing with Backup, Parallels too.

Shutdown behavior is odd. From the apple icon, shutdown doesn't work, everything goes away on the desktop, then the spinning wheel (not beach ball), then nothing. Have to power off to quit, can't be good for the hardware.

Any suggestions, or am I doomed to a clean install and reinstalling all of my applications? Thankfully I have a drive backed up with SuperDuper with 10.4!

Thanks for the help.

Mac Pro 2.00Ghz 4 GB RAM 1.32 TB, Mac OS X (10.4.9), Nvidia 7300 GT Video

OK, I've got ContentBarrier X4 installed and this was the cause of my error codes and it looks like several - if not all of my installation issues with Leopard.

Apparently, perhaps with Login KeyChain update, it wiped out the ContentBarrier administration name, and on launch, it was likely blocking the applications.

First, install the Login KeyChain update (see Apple software download page).

Reinstalled ContentBarrierX4 http://www.intego.com/services/updates.asp (make sure to select ContentBarrierX4).

Open ContentBarrierX4 - you'll have to sign in as the administer. You may have to go into Preferences > Accounts > to make sure that you've got admin rights.

Once you logged in, exit, then reboot.

For the first time since installing Leopard, I can shutdown without a hard power off.

Salvation...
