Comment 1 for bug 319477

We were actually relatively careful to touch only directories the packaging system knew about, I thought. Here's the relevant code. I can't see where this could recurse into /var/volumes; could you look over the following and see if any of the mentioned directories might contain symlinks into /var/volumes? I suspect that this is specific to your system somehow but I don't yet see how. Thanks in advance.
