Mountain Lion: Constant Sandbox denies for mdworker

I'm trying to find out what's causing sandboxd to throw several messages to the Console. Since installation (upgrade from 10.7.4), I've seen these:


sandboxd[70533] ([70530]): mdworker(70530) deny file-write-create /Users/brian/Library/Keychains/login.keychain.sb-###### loads of numbers.


I usually get them in batches of 12, and they literally come about 10-15x a minute at worst. I'm sure this isn't great for performance, and I'd really just like to stop whatever's causing it, if only so I can more clearly read my Console when other things are legitimately going wrong. I also don't want Spotlight writing to my Keychain. What's that all about?


I don't have any Spotlight plugins, so I can't imagine why mdworker would be trying to modify my Keychain. I got that tip with my Google-fu, but I can't tell what else this might be.


kernel[0]: Sandbox: sandboxd(70547) deny mach-lookup com.apple.coresymbolicationd This is a new one for me, just started earlier today, if it helps pinpoint anything.


Has anyone else got a clue what could be causing mdworker to anger the sandbox so?


Thanks!
