When I tried this one I got a few things like:

find: /Users/Username/.fseventsd: Permission denied
find: /Users/Username/File Transfer Folder\003\r: Permission denied
find: /Users/Username/Temporary Items/0: Permission denied

When I tried this one I got hundreds of entires ending in 'Permission Denied' including not only the main drive but also the Time Machine drive. In the end, I quit Terminal in order to stop the list from growing.

I couldn't get either of these to work, so I assume I may not know the right way to enter the path. In either case, if I entered what I thought was the path using the brackets, I got:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token

If I did the same without brackets I got:

No such file or directory

At any rate, I checked the plist with Get Info and found that both the Creation and Modified dates were the same and they corresponded with a day this user got one of those internet greeting cards.

This user would not install anything so I'm assuming it's from the card.
