Let's not forget the built in OS X tools "fsck" (file system check) and "repairPermissions". To use fsck, boot in single mode by holding Cms-S at boot time. Wait for the text interface to finish booting, then write "fsck-y" (naturally sans the "") and press return, run twice if it says the file system have been changed (to make sure the repair took) and when finished write "reboot" + return. "sudo diskutil repairPermissions /" have been discused in the past on the list and can be use both in single mode (I think you can drop "sudo" there) and also in the terminal, even while continuing to work. While Disk Utility may be just a GUI for the "diskutil" commands, I prefer the terminal myself as it works fast and reliable.
