Can't open library after update #1

I restarted my computer and it updated Aperture.  Since then I can’t open my library.  I get the following message:

Aperture cannot access this library

To use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly.

 

I googled it and found an article from Apple that said to hold down the com/opt keys and double click on the library.  I did that and got the window where I picked repair or rebuild.  Neither worked.  I got this message when I tried to rebuild:

Unable to write to library “Photography (D7000 and D80)”

Check that you have permission to write to the library directory.

I get the same message when I try to repair.  What can I do to get access to my pictures???  

Thank you,

Open Disk Utility on your Mac, select your disk drive, and run Repair Permissions. Sounds like the OS X permissions aren’t letting you write to the library. There is also a Repair Permissions from that Aperture pop-up (where you can select Repair and Rebuild). Try that also.

Hi Walter:

I tried the Repair Permissions from the pop-up and it wouldn’t let me repair or rebuild.  When I run disk utility the repair disk permissions is greyed out when I select the hard drive…
