    Anyway, the idea of separate users (UNIX style) in OSX is the overall solution for this. You are logged in, and as long as you are, everything assigned to your user is accessible. You can't access files/folders from a different user. If you Get info on a folder, you simply click the "Lock" check box and any other user, besides you, would have to type in your password to access it. You can also set Permissions through the Get Info dialogue.
