Running Mountain Lion.

I created a new user and wanted to migrate my iPhoto library over to it. Just did a simple copy. Everything works fine except that I can't connect to Photostream with this new user.

I've tried logging out of iCloud and deleting the iCloud keychain entries, the logging back in but that didn't help.

I opened up console and see that I'm getting the following errors when iPhoto tries to connect:

504 is the UID for my user, so I went and looked in launched.db and sure enough there isn't a file there for my user (though there are 18 other ones).

Am I on the right track? Any ideas what to do next to sort this out?

Thank you!

Huh, suddenly today it started working - I decided to try enabling photostream again and it connected. Went and checked launcehd.db and now there's a peruser.504.....no clue what happened but I guess I'll take it!

My iPhoto had difficulty on January 26th, as well. Last synched photo from Photo Stream was from the 25th (early a.m. US time).
Worked fine again yesterday evening (27th).
