When running Disk Permissions the following message always appears. I have tried finding the offending files, tried turning on invisibles and found that these files may reside in an archived folder which has been trashed but still these two files appear every time Disk Permissions is run.

Any clues please?

Hi Edward,

They are "spurious" errors or "status messages" as I see Apple prefers to call them. You'll get them every time, even if you run it a thousand times.

The last line is all you need: The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume.

Here is a KB article that touches on it but was written early:
