It's not Rosetta...it's probably a permissions or ownership problem.

To fix a permission problem, after installing Alex Kan's optimized apps:
In Terminal, cd ~Library/"Application Support"/"BOINC Data"/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu
Type chmod 755 seti_enhanced*
Quit Terminal

Try running the app again.

If it doesn't work, try fixing the ownership:
sudo chown boinc_master:boinc_project /Library/"Application Support"/"BOINC Data"/projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/*

This can also usually be fixed with the Finder: just select the S@h project folder, once you’ve copied the app &c. into it and then Get Info (command-i); expand the ownership-&-permissions area and click the “Apply to enclosed items” button.
