I'm sorry but I have no clue. You did nothing wrong and I cannot reproduce the problem on a similar Mac (10.4.4 ppc, Java 1.4.2_09, XXE installed /Applications/LocalApps/ belonging to root and not to hussein, etc).
If you find a workaround, please tell us about it because we would like to understand what happened.
