Answer 1

Sorry for the delay, was on vacation.
As is shown in my example, bUpdater is boolean. When else can you have "<false/>" as a key value? I've just verified in Xcode that it is in fact boolean.
The permissions were previously 644, owned by the 501 admin user. I've changed this to root:admin mode 755. No change.
I'm using Acrobat 10.1.1 on Snow Leopard Server.
On the subject of docs, they don't indicate anything about ownership/permissions, and are actually unclear about the contents of the file. It says to create a new "file" ending in .plist, and then to add the "entries" of the dict, without showing an example of the <plist> tag and the DTD. The next section (setting the Updater to manual) also states path "~/User/Library/Preferences/", which has ambiguous context and is also _not a real directory_.
Thanks,
