hmm, I have had a similar problem w/ individual activities before. It
had to do w/ the permissions w/in the individual Activity Bundle being
wrong.

I would try chmod -R 755 across all your activity bundles. this may
cause a problem for Rainbow though :) . If you do run chmod -R 777,
Rainbow will definitely shut you down.

It can't be a problem w/ the datastore because terminal starts.
