Chris:Basically the log will show what the permissions are and then what they should. You'll see something like path file name -wr-x ETC which is an example.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.One final thing I do is after installing new software, running permissions repair I go in to the terminal and rebuild index. I'll give the command and notice it is case sensitive.
While in terminal, do the following. sudo mdutil-E /Type in your password and you'll see something like volume indix rebuilt or something like that.
