Console error messages every time while trying to run Software Update

Trying to check for updates and I get this message in console:

com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.app-store-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/in stalld' [774] for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app' [768]

I have not had any updates in a while, so I am thinking because of this.

Anyone see a problem.

Thanks

Running Lion 10.7.1

LONG STORY SHORT, delete all the files in /Users/<yourusername>/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ and then retry Software Update and it should work!
