    Hi pbarnes, run Repair Permissions and ACLs on your Home folder. Disk Utility does not touch anything inside your Home folder. Boot to your Recovery partition holding  command + R keys  from the Utilities menu Launch Terminal . In Terminal, type: resetpassword Then press Return.  (Note: You will not be resetting password)

    Choose the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop down below select your Home folder. At the bottom of the window Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Then, click  the reset button. When the prompt returns to the command line, you can quit out of Terminal.
