I seem to have Ongoing permission repair problems; I repair them (and there's lots to repair) and then not even a week or two later I check permissions and again huge repair job needed. Any idea why this keeps happening? Am I chasing symptom of larger/different issue?

You are presently getting what sound like recurring but innocuous messages you can safely ignore. But unless you post something here to see, we have no clue what you are seeing.
