For no particular reason, the Finder (10.3.4) keeps asking: '.... (the file, url)..you are opening will open the application... (name)... for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?'
Of course this happens a lot and with apps I use on a daily basis, although Apple states: "Once an application has been opened, this message will not appear again for that particular application."
This morning I ran Keychain Repair, hoping that will fix things. Dunno yet.
What is causing this? Allready rebuild my dirs and updated the whois and whatis-databases with Cocktail...

Except that it keeps on happening to apps that already have been opened before either by direct clicking or by clicking on its files....

Security-wise, it would be orders of magnitude better if it asked every time. However, the way OSX is currently coded, it's not supposed to do that, so this is technically a bug. I wouldn't be concerned, except that this may be symptomatic of another problem that could pop up later.
This data would be stored in Launch Services, not the Keychain, so unfortunately I don't think Keychain Repair is going to help. It's possible that one of the Launch Services files has become corrupted in some way, so that it can't save the fact that you allowed the app to open. You might try using Disk Utility's "Repair Permissions" option; that stands a good chance of helping here.
If that doesn't help, then my first instinct would be to delete the LSApplications, LSClaimedTypes, and LSSchemes files, but they seem to have been moved since the last time I did it, so I'm not sure where they are anymore (or even if they exist anymore).

I've had it happen a few times after running Cocktail so it's probably something in the system cache that keeps tracks and when that is trashed, it starts fresh again.

Egads... those went the way of the dodo after 10.1.5 was replaced by 10.2
Jaguar introduced /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.LocalCache.csstore and ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.UserCache.csstore
Panther has reduced those to just /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.6B.csstore (and possibly a ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist)
