After updating my macbook to lion I discovered that wbfs managers simply do not work. WBFS for Mac OSX can not even read the hard drive, WiiJManager can read it, but when trying to add a game, it immediately says "Task Finished" and doesn't really do anything and jWBFS crashes immediately.

I was thinking of downgrading to Snow Leopard again, but that would require completely formatting my HD which I would really rather avoid.

In layman's terms, does a functional wbfs manger for mac osx lion exist yet or am I going to have to format my hd?
 
Unfortunately not working for me, I keep getting this error
Preparing transfer files to WBFS.
WIT command line:
wwt ADD --auto /Users/Steven/Desktop/Kirby's Return to Dreamland.iso --psel DATA,UPDATE,CHANNEL --section --progress

!! wwt: ERROR #32 [WBFS ERROR] in wbfs_add_disc_param() @ src/libwbfs/libwbfs.c#1856

It seems to have to do with space but I guarantee I've got loads left.

EDIT: Hmm, seems to be the hard drive because my wii thinks it's full too. Great, time to take all my games off, format and put them back on. Hooray.
 
For the curious, it was in fact my HD. For some reason all of my programs including the wii itself thought it was filled while it had about 2/3 of it's space left. After a formatted it, everything is working correctly again and WiiJManager, the utility I chose to use, was able to add my games again.
 
You must run as root in mountain lion:

In Terminal simply type: sudo "/Applications/WBFS for MacOS X.app/Contents/MacOS/WBFS for MacOS X"
Using Terminal simply type: sudo "/Applications/WBFS for MacOS X.app/Contents/MacOS/WBFS for MacOS X"
