So I have recently installed two separate concurrent instances of dropbox on Mavericks. There are plenty of scripts on the web (all roughly the same) that seem to lead to a common issue, specifically for Mavericks. After the second instance is started via this script:

HOME=$HOME/Dropbox-second /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox &

it hangs in a constant state of 'starting.' I have looked around quite a bit and can't seem to come up with a solution. Any ideas or leads would be greatly appreciated.

In response to comments: Ideally, the solution would function for the same user account of the computer. The idea is that two separate Dropbox accounts be available and usable at the same time. I do understand Dropbox doesn't support this functionality, hence the reason for the question. It is a workaround solution that I'm after. Additionally, the script cited above does work in other versions of osx, so again I'm asking for solutions to regain functionality in Mavericks specifically. Thanks for your help.
