This is not a file permission issue. MacVim registers a named bootstrap server so that Vim processes can connect to the GUI. The above error message is saying that the name that MacVim is trying to register is already taken and so it fails. This means two MacVim processes are trying to run at the same time which is why I previously suspected that the OP had two versions of MacVim.app on their computer. I don't know what would cause Mac OS X to try and start two instances of the same app. My best guess is that this is a timing-related issue since it is so hard to reproduce (by which I mean that I have never been able to reproduce it).
