CFPreferences calls in Cocoa apps

Hi,
  I'm writing what is at heart a cocoa application, but needs to make a
few Core Foundation Preferences calls, specifically it needs to grab
the preferences for another application.  I have been trying to use
CFPreferencesCopyKeyList to grab the preferences, but it apparently
always returns nil (at least within a cocoa app).  Considering what
might be causing this, I decided to try synchronizing the preferences
first using CFPreferencesAppSynchronize, this unfortunately causes a
SIGABRT... Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

Thanks

Tom Davie
