I had this problem and took a look at the files that were installed.  The 
"comskip" folder in "/Library/Application Support/ETVComskip/" had permissions 
that were pretty restrictive and once I changed my user to the owner it started 
working.

yeah i think that's it.  Here is/was my background.

1. i have a multiple users.  Account A was the initial account on the mac so i 
assume this is some root privileges.
2. i never use this account.
3. i use account B for all software installation and use it on a day to day 
basis.
4. i have never had a problem before.
5. installed etv-comskip and it asked me for the password for user B (which 
typically happens during software installation).
6. As pointed out by da.man.dan, the comskip directory is owned with R/W by 
user A????  and user B had no permissions to this directory.  After changing 
everything in and including the directory to user B with R/W it's now working.

So it seems like an installation issue.

I also changed the permissions and this worked as well.
