TBB permissions problem in multi-user OS X environment

Installing a centrally-accessible copy of TBB on OS X results in only the installing user being able to launch the bundle, owing to a permissions issue:

[Warning] ../../Contents/Resources/Data/Tor is not owned by this user (REDACTED, REDACTED) but by REDACTED (REDACTED). Perhaps you are running Tor as the wrong user? [Warning] Failed to parse/validate config: Couldn't access/create private data directory "../../Contents/Resources/Data/Tor" [Error] Reading config failed--see warnings above.

If possible, TBB should be re-made in such a fashion that it can be installed on OS X by one user, yet used successfully by others, without having to manually undertake a permissions-workaround.

Problem encountered with TBB Version 2.2.35-4 - OS X (64-Bit) on OS X 10.6.8.
