Thanks for the reply.

I did find a way to get rid of the error (the GTDalt files are in  
Documents and I had to restrict permissions on the folder, which is  
fine), but I was baffled as to why this morning this error didn't  
appear and then as soon as I grabbed the recent build of TM, there  
was the error. I hadn't changed permissions in the mean time. So, it  
was a bit disturbing.

Thanks again!
