I've figured out what is going on (I think). As long as your iTunes library is installed in this path: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/, the music entitlement works. It is path specific! This makes "com.apple.security.assets.music.*" only sligtly better than "com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.*" in that the music entitlement is not temporary. However The user can break it by going into iTunes preferences and moving their media files. I haven't tested it but I assume this will brake the movies entitlement as well.
