[Don't forget to reboot]

And the answer is (or appears to be) . . .

Don't forget to reboot (aka restart) after deleting the library files and re-executing Espionage with no success!

The earlier reboot didn't do it, but after deleting everything up to /Library/iSpy and re-running Espionage, a reboot seems to have the desired effect.

[Snow Leopard]

I'm having all the problems that Socrates had (not hemlock, but the EspionageHelper failing to run after I've just migrated it to a new system) and my directory structure is as before (i.e. same user name on old and new machines).

What is different is that the new system is running Snow Leopard and the old one runs Leopard.

When I first ran Espionage on the new machine it said there were parts that needed to be reinstalled and it popped up the installer, which ran successfully, (it said).  However, it was unable to find EspionageHelper.  So I deleted the two specified files in my /library and ran Espionage again.  It recreated those files, but it still failed to find the EHelper.  So I followed all the directions given to Socrates, all the way to doing rm -r /Library/iSpy and when I ran Espionage again I got the installer again, which completed successfully again, and then I got exactly the same result.

Unfortunately, my email files are encrypted and locked with Espionage, so I can't send you any email from that machine, although I could FTP something to you if you'd like me to run a diagnostic...

Help?

I noticed.  Thanks, guys!

Well, actually Command+<SP> does nothing on my machine, probably because a long time ago I disabled it after I had hit the end of the space bar with my thumb (it's a tiny space bar on the MacBook)one too many times.  But yes, I could arrange to get to Espionage merely by typing, but I find myself often mousing around trying to start Espionage.  It's just a thought -- it seemed logical that the icon on the menu bar should be able to get you to any of the Espionage services.
Best,

Not really... unless you know a trick I don't, Spotlight requires mousing AND typing. . .

Espionage takes up space on my screen in two places: there's an icon on the menu bar, next to the Time Machne icon, and I keep a link to it on the "shelf."  I have it on the shelf because I need to launch the Espionage program from time to time and I don't want to go looking through my applications directory to find it, but it would be a lot more convenient to have a "Launch Espionage" menu item in the Espionage menu bar icon's menu, along with "Lock All Folders," "Back Up Now," etc.  I'd happily trade one extra line of menu for the space on the shelf.
