cannot open partition and cannot format partition (FAT32) Mac OSX Lion

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. plug in external hard drive (relatively new seagate 1TB)
2. run the app
3. click the partition button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected outcome would be to format the partition as wbfs.  I get nothing 
but the message that it cannot open or format the partition.  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2.0 (svnexported release) Mac OSX Lion

Please provide any additional information below.

The wiki didnt have any additional information pertaining to this issue 
specifically.  Am I missing something?  Thank you.

I was also seeing the same issue.  It is related to the changes in security for 
Lion and Mountain Lion.  I've thrown together a script that requests for admin 
privileges.  All that needs to be done is the following:

/Applications/QWBFSManager.app/Contents/MacOS
rename: 
  QWBFSManager to QWBFSManager_app

And make sure you save the attached file as 
/Applications/QWBFSManager.app/Contents/MacOS/QWBFSManager

This is required until the QWBFSManager has implemented administration 
privileges requests within their application.

Ran into same problem. By the way, it won't work unless you give it the right 
permissions:

chmod a+x /Applications/QWBFSManager.app/Contents/MacOS/QWBFSManager

If you're still having issues it could be that your sudo isn't allowed to run 
outside of a tty environment. To fix this, edit /etc/sudoers and remove the 
"requiretty" Default.

Actually, keep the requiretty and add the following to your /etc/sudoers:

Defaults:<username> !requiretty

where <username> is the account you want to allow sudo to run without tty.
