there are two alternate methods to fix the permissions...I recommend doing both, just to be safe.

You might have multiple copies of BusyBox installed, this could cause the repeated requests to allow root.

To check, use Root Explorer to SEARCH your phone for Busybox, if you see more than one, delete all of them, then re-open busybox installer and re-install busybox 1.18. REBOOT your phone....

check if the problems are gone.
If you read my post I did fix all the problems. It's just a warning to folks saying reading "It's a breeze just 1-click and you are done".

Part of the issue was my not flashing a current ROM designed for being rooted. I have flashed sprint lovers since which has most everything up to date. I'm just surprized Unrevoked was incomplete where it did most of the hard stuff correctly.
