@_mc,
I had similar problems after upgrading to the latest version of iBank (within Mavericks 10.9, in my case).
With my issue, I'd try to import my data file from the previous version and would get these error messages below:
Furthermore, every time I would attempt to save it, numerous folder would be created having the name of the file. Under the Sharing & Permissions tab I had 21 duplicate entries with my personal username with custom privilege and multiple everyone entries with varying privileges.
While we were trouble shooting the issue I was asked to run the command,
ls -lhe folder/file
The output for me looked something like this:
ls -lhe /Volumes/HD/Documents/Documents/file
total 13864

By running:
chmod -v -R -N /Volumes/HD/Documents/Documents/file
I was able to remove all the duplicate entries as well as remove the ACLs (extended permission attributes). Please visit Apple's chmod page for further information. The tech support at iBank (which was outstanding!) did recommend I make a backup copy of my file before running this command in case it caused more problems than it solved.
Hopefully this helps you somewhat. With our similar problems of multiple permission entries, clearing the extended permission attributes might work for you too.
