In case anyone else is seeing the following errors in their Console logs, and also experiencing random Spotlight indexing issues, drive slowdowns, etc...


Code:
4/2/13 5:09:34.374 PM mdworker[66381]: Unable to talk to lsboxd 4/2/13 5:09:34.375 PM mdworker[66380]: Unable to talk to lsboxd 4/2/13 5:09:34.554 PM sandboxd[66382]: ([66381]) mdworker(66381) deny mach-lookup com.apple.ls.boxd 4/2/13 5:09:34.575 PM sandboxd[66382]: ([66380]) mdworker(66380) deny mach-lookup com.apple.ls.boxd
Try removing third party importers until you find an offending one. To find all the importers on your system, in Terminal, do:

Code:
find -x / -iname \*.mdimporter -exec ls -lndotT {} +
You'll get a bunch of "Permission denied" warnings, ignore them, and wait for the payoff at the end. It will look something like:

... except it will be all jumbled up, I sorted these out manually to make it more clear.

The first group is all Apple importers.

The second group is a combination of Apple installed and third party installed importers in /Library.

The third group is a combination of Apple and third-party importers installed by root (ie, the App Store).

The fourth group is apps installed by a user.

Suspect importers include those with the oldest dates (in this case NeoOffice and OmniGraffle Pro 4) because they are most likely to predate the new sandboxing requirements. Also, I now notice the two copies/versions of the GarageBand importer, one in /Library, one in the application itself.

To remove the importer, you should be able to simply zip up the app, remove the active copy, then reboot. (I'm tracking down if there's an importer cache somewhere, but I don't believe so.)

Then, check your Console logs again and see if it goes away.
