Have you checked if the attribute is actually there? You can check with LSCopyItemAttribute. Also, you should double-check with "ls -l@ /path/to/file", which may show the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute. It may be that the OS really has cleared the quarantine already and something else is going wrong. Don't forget to check all of the files in your helper. Maybe the quarantine was successfully lifted from some files but not all. Frankly, you should ignore that error, anyway. You are just trying to make sure the file is not quarantined. If it already was not, then you should consider it success. However, if you're still having the original symptom, then of course that doesn't help you. By the way, what version of the OS are you seeing this issue on?
