That's a two different issues.  You don't want to apply OS update with
Software Update because it isn't complete.  You always want to do Combo
update.  Besides, as David mentioned for Windows, you do want to
download updater and store it.

After Tiger, if DiskUtil is keep reporting different permission errors,
something is wrong with your OS.  There are only few that are known and
harmless, like ADR under Leo, which you should ignore.  Permission
errors on log files are also harmless, but this often happens.

Sorry but I don't agree.  If you want to check your disk, you should
boot from the installer DVD and run DiskUtil, which is the same fsck
command anyway, but running disk check from 3rd disk is always better
than running off the same target disk.

Also fsck is just a sanity check.  It stands for File System ChecK. 
When it reports error, it is usually too late.  Disk Warrior is
something which should be used to keep the HD health.
