Security update fails :(

I have tried to complete this update twice and both times the update failed due to an unexpected error, has this happened to anyone else and what can I do?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Macbook 2,1

This is what I have tried, without success. I'll note that I'm also unable to install the itunes update that arrived with the security update.


Reboot

Shutdown, wait a few minutes

reboot into safe mode

utilities > verify permissions, repair, reboot

new admin account

onyx > clear cache system, user, application, repair permissions, etc > reboot


I have 556gb available on my boot drive, SMART and files system passed ok.

Security update fails :(
