The use of UpdateSystemActivity(OverallAct) has been deprecated in OSX 10.8.
The recommended approach is now to block it with the following call:
IOPMAssertionCreateWithName(kIOPMAssertionTypePreventUserIdleDisplaySleep,
kIOPMAssertionLevelOn, reasonForActivity, &assertionID);
See this Apple Q&A for further details.
