Hello,
   Can anyone diagnose this error message: "authorization trampoline could not be accessed data fork -5000" that occurs when I try to burn a backup of my OS 10.2.8 system folder?  No dialogue box appears asking for an Admin password.

My guess is there is a damaged file called authorization trampoline in your System folder. It might take some searching to find it, as it also could be an invisible file. I've never heard of such a file. If you can't find it using Find, then use Toast's Save as Disc Image option to narrow down where it is located. For example, Add half of the folders in your System folder and choose Save as Disc Image. If that goes well then it is likely the bad file is in the other half. Trash the disc images because you're just trying to find the file and don't need those partial backups.

Thanks, tsantee, for this clue.  I found the file in Library/CoreServices and it was locked. Unlocking it and re-doing the burn procedure yielded the same error message, unfortunately. I observed when the hangup occurs: verification passes, and the error occurs early in the burn procedure.
