MDS Error: unable to create user DBs in /var/folders/...

What does this error mean? I have tons of them in my console. I have also repaired my permissions with Disk Utility, which found nothing in /var.

I did, but I can't believe it takes a complete reinstall to solve. What exactly is trustevaluationagent?

I have been able to solve this problem by moving mdsObject.db_ from ... -Caches-/mds/ directory to my user's directory. Once it was gone - mdsObject.db was re-created automatically and messages stopped.

Hello,

Add me to the list.
Tonight, the finder crashed during an iDisk operation.
I had to manually turned off the mac.
On the restart, Snow leopard decided to index spotlight for like an hour!
I suspected things so I went into the console, and yes I get all these "MDS Error: unable to create user DBs in /var/folders/..." for nearly each app I launch.

Any ideas?? I've been reading your thread, and couldn't find any relevant in google too.

It doesn't seem to affect the use of the mac, but it's still strange! (there's a part of me that wanna clean reinstall right now! I just hate now that i know that something might not be working like it should! haha)

Any idea an help very welcome.

I wish I had more helpful information. At least now I know I'm not nuts.

I can't be convinced that clean reinstall of OS X is the only way to fix this.

ANYONE AT APPLE READING THESE?!!!

How do we file a bug report ?

I had the same issue. Yet it seems to have disappeared by restarting with the shift key pushed to start without the extensions, it erases the caches at the same time.

I will keep you posted if the messages come back.

So far, I've had some luck deleting unwanted extensions from /Library/Extensions. I have no idea if this is the root cause, but I haven't had an MDS console message in 3 days now.
