Q: Disk Utility Showing Multiple Issues on HD
I run Disk Utility every few days. Over the past month when I do a Verify Disk on the volume Macintosh HD I am told about errors that require me to repair the volume from the Recovery Disk. I do so and all is well for a few days. Then corruption reoccurs again. This happens again and again.
What can I do to prevent this corruption? Should I reset the SMC or the PRAM? Should I reinstall Mavericks?
See the screen shot for a representative case.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

That is normal of Permission Repairs. Just ignore it. As long as it says Permissions Repaired at the end of it, then all is good. It has had the best of Mac users stumped for many versions of the OSX as to why this is the case, but it is. You can repair permissions twenty times a day and still see the list as you are seeing.
Apple once released a list of permissions to ignore ()
May give you an insight into why you should just ignore the DiskUtility Permissions Repair report.
