I hear from someware I think maybe from a KB article that that hardware trick no longer works. I'd try and bring up the conversation I had with someone about this on twitter but since I can only pull up the last 3000 tweets that will not be possible as this conversation took place about a month ago.
I hope you get your thing solved with out an OS install. I would try booting to the recovery consul and doing a permissions repair that way. I think I or someone sent some very detailed instructions last thursday or so. Be blessed.
