Whenever you repair permissions you MUST do it from the installer disk unless you have more than one OSX partition, or an extra hard drive. It says right in the disk utility that you can't fix disk permissions on the disk you booted from.
Nope, you're thinking of *disk* repair. In fact doing permissions repair from your older installer is a recipe for problems, as system updates will change the permissions database Apple uses to reset those things.
In short, you can never run disk repair on your boot disk from your boot disk, and you should ALWAYS run permissions repair on your boot disk from your boot disk.
