I tried to update tlmgr with TeXLive Utility, and that failed as well. Then I updated tlmgr from the command line and did an update from the command line, after which TeXLive Utility updates worked again. Maybe something messed up the directory in the process.

Peter,

Does

sudo /bin/rm -r ~/.texlive2009

do anything different? Or, failing that,

sudo /usr/sbin/chown -R `/usr/bin/whoami` ~/.texlive2009

followed by 

rm -r ~/.texlive2009
