Actually, the GateKeeper release notes say that you have to give "other file"
privileges to Stuffit or Binhex so that they can set the file type, creation
date, etc. of the files they're recovering.  I've had no problems with Stuffit
under GateKeeper.

Which version of Gatekeeper are you running?  I'm using 1.0, without any
problems (as long as I check periodically to make sure that I haven't denied
privileges to a program that needs them).  I had 1.1 installed for a while, and
it's definitely better, but it seemed to corrupt my Lightspeed Pascal projects,
so I got rid of it.  Maybe 1.1 has a conflict with Stuffit also (although I
doubt it; stuffit doesn't do anything that fancy with resources).

Note: I'm not absolutely sure that GateKeeper 1.1 was causing my problems, but
they went away after I got rid of it and recreated all my project files.
