If so, you locked more files than you should have while applying the xpchelper fix. You need only lock /var/folder/xx(this is the other folder than zz)/t**********(should be the only folder within this folder)/C/com.apple.xpchelper.cache. To fix this you should unlock /var/folders/zz so Lion can write those caches.

EDIT: Oh yeah and if that's the problem and you did lock the folder then just do this:
Code:
sudo su
chflags nouchg /private/var/folders/zz
I don't remember of this error message.. But..

1) Wait for xpchelper to crash
2) Open terminal and type these in:
"sudo su"
"cd /private/var/folders"
"find /private/var/folders/ -type f | grep -i com.apple.xpchelper.cache"
3) cd to the first one that shows up on the list (it will be in a separate folder from the other xpchelper caches)
"rm -r com.apple.xpchelper.cache"
"pico com.apple.xpchelper.cache" ---> hit ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to exit
"chflags uchg com.apple.xpchelper.cache"
4) Reboot and you're done!

These are the steps I'm doing (besides the one to the trash).. When I get to step 3), should I cd to the complete path? (till the xxxxxxxx/C/) or just to the xxxxx/ ?

And in the last step, the chflags uchg must be done to the file or to the folder?

And again, I'm really thankful for your help.
