Have you run repair permissions multiple time as in back to back. To check to see if any changes were made?

Also what did you install last before you started having this problem or did you remove any thing?

I have the same problem on an old macbook. I took it to a tech and they didn't know squat about Macs. Nice eh?

I am having the same problem and it seems to be most of the same files.

Have you had any luck resolving this? If two of us have this problem, I'll bet there are more.

Pretty normal. Have a read of this from Apple:-

Mac OS X 10.5: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions reports issues with SUID files

And this:-

Apple - Support - Discussions - Leopard wont repair permissions.... ...
