Hi, While flushing user preferences, a BackingStoreException is not expected, since the current user should be able to write such preferences to the persistent storage (unlike system preferences, where current user needs to have admin rights). This fix aims at allowing a user preference node to flush any changes to the persistent storage on Mac OS X.
