Hi stargatingit,
Can you open up a terminal window and type
A folder should open on your desktop with some files. Could you please attach the minion.xml and minion0.log to this thread? That can help me determine the cause of the problem.
I'm runnning Minion on 10.10.2 also (its my dev environment). So I'm interested to see what is different and what the error(s) are.
Thanks.
