Snow Leopard 10.6.3 w/ ADLAgent 2.6-79
Windows XP w/ Aclient 6.9.453

While running OSX, if there is a mounted bootcamp partition, in R/O mode (the default), ADLAGENT will fail to startup:

config-check.log:


[2436 2010-05-06 14:46:30] : aclient.cfg found in /Volumes/BOOTCAMP
[2436 2010-05-06 14:46:30] : Aclient Config=Reply

adlagentdbg.txt:

logevent] Debug: [updatecomputer] aclient.cfg found in /Volumes/BOOTCAMP
logevent] Debug: [updatecomputer] Aclient Config=Reply
adl_toolbox] Debug: ExecCommand returned: 9, exit status = 9 from script=check
adlagent] Debug: ShutDownClient()!!!!!

SOLUTION:

1) unmount bootcamp partiton and restart ADLAgent
OR
2)  Install NTFS-3G FUSE r/w module to allow r/w access to the NTFS partition

I can't explain why. . .

ADLAgent doesn't seem to try to modify anything on the drive, so I can't explain why mounting the NTFS drive R/W fixes this issue.  It just does.  Maybe it is a separate side-effect of using the FUSE drivers.
