Privacy List Error. Can’t add volume to privacy

The first option to try is to delete the file named Spotlight-V100/Store-V1/Exclusions.plist and restart the Finder.



Another option is to:

1. Install TinkerTool (it can be found on the www.macupdate.com page)

2. Run it and check the "Show hidden and system files" box

3. At the bottom of the TinkerTool menu, click Relaunch Finder

4. Open the folder .Spotlight-V100/Store-V1/" in the Finder window and trash the file named Exclusions.plist

5. Restart Finder

6. Open TinkerTool and uncheck "Show hidden and system files"
