Description
after nuking prefs and ~/Library/Racket open the following in drracket:
#lang scribble/manual
@(require racket/sandbox)
@(define evaluator (make-evaluator 'racket))
@(define typed/evaluator (make-evaluator 'typed/racket))
Render to get the following error
../../MyApplications/dev/lisp/Racket/collects/pkg/private/lock.rkt:26:0: directory-exists?: `exists' access denied for /MyApplications/dev/lisp/Racket/share/pkgs
With ~/Library/Racket I was getting errors about not having read access for a pkgs lock file (it existed and I had read access)... But out of the box, this thing should work.

Research direction
Reproduce the fresh-install case in DrRacket using the Scribble example with racket/sandbox and the two make-evaluator calls. Start at collects/pkg/private/lock.rkt:26:0 and inspect the package-path access check; done means rendering succeeds without an access-denied error on a virginal installation.
