I've given an ad hoc version of my app to some users. Two of them have the app die on start up while one user has no issues. I can also install the ad hoc without issue...but that is always the case for me. One user sent the info below from the Xcode Organizer Console. They didn't find any crash logs. I don't know what to make of the info below. The one thing that stands out is "Permission denied".

I place the provisioning and myapp.app files in a dropbox folder. The user then retrieves the files from the same location. I've run codesign against the .app file in the dropbox and get valid output:

codesign -vvvv myapp.app
myapp.app: valid on disk
myapp.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement

Any one have some ideas how I can figure out why the app doesn't work for this user?

Here is the Console output from one user. They couldn't find any associated crash logs:
