To update this.

I was attempting to launch a user script from NSApplicationScriptsDirectory 
using a bundle helper tool and failed as the operation was not permitted.

I then ran the helper in the main app executable on a separate thread and the 
same code launched the user script without issue.

If anyone succeeds in launching a user script from 
NSApplicationScriptsDirectory via a helper tool then it would be good to know.

 In a sandboxed app I do the following for say com.mystuff.app and a folder 
 named com.mystuff.app is created in NSApplicationScriptsDirectory as expected.
 
 NSError *error = nil;
   NSURL *scriptsFolderURL = [[NSFileManager defaultManager]
  URLForDirectory:NSApplicationScriptsDirectory
  inDomain:NSUserDomainMask
  appropriateForURL:nil
  create:YES
  error:error];
   MLogInfo(@NSApplicationScriptsDirectory = %@, scriptsFolderURL);
 
 Now I also have a helper app identified as com.mystuff.app-helper.
 Trying to access url for the NSApplicationScriptsDirectory from within the 
 helper yields an error saying that I don't have permission to save 
 com.mystuff.app-helper into NSApplicationScriptsDirectory.
 
 Is this as expected and is there a workaround?
