Try adding BackDrop to the privileged section in GateKeeper.
If you go to the control panel and click on GateKeeper and
then choose Settings, you should see a window in the lower
left of programs given privileges by GateKeeper, which means
that it will let them operate without interference. Just be
sure you know such programs are virus-free. (I learned this
lesson through bitter experience with StuffIt and an earlier
version of GateKeeper which didn't allow such privileges.)
