Hi Paul, I'm working on quite a few client support emails at the same time, so I can only get back to you when possible. How did you upgrade to OS X 10.8, was it a 'clean install' or an 'upgrade' from Lion?
Have you only used this external drive to backup OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion? Or did it have backups from a previous system on it? Download the OS X 10.8.2 Combo update and install it over the top. <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1581> Then download the OS X 10.8.2 Supplement Update and install it. <http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1600> Then repair permissions. And restart again.
