This probably only became an issue with the install of the F@h client. Current security requirements, not sure which version of the OS they start with, keeps the launchd process from starting up background processes like FAHClient from a directory not owned by the system. In addition, the script supplied to have launchd start up that background process runs it under a restricted user account 'nobody' that has minimal privileges. So that user needs execute and lookup access to the directory and the FAHClient executable under the 'o' or other access permissions.
