Thanks Duncan
It's a bit weird. As soon as I posted, I googled the error and found this

I dragged iTunes 6.02 onto desktop and Permission Repair has just successfully completed.
Seems like a common problem.

Not sure why that is but if you want to try and run repair permissions
on the terminal do the following..

You have to be logged in as an admin user.

Open Terminal and enter the following.

sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

It will then ask for the admin password.

Hey presto hope it helps

Subject: Disk Utility internal error

Hi Folks
I am trying to do Permission Repair before downloading latest iTunes
update, but I keep getting this error - "Disk Utility has lost its
connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please
quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
I have done as it asks and also tried a restart to no avail. Does anyone
know why this is happening and what I can do to rectify it?
