Doubtless there are different versions in the MikTeX distribution
and what you have on the Mac...

  ... I have

% fancyhdr.sty version 2.0
% Fancy headers and footers for LaTeX.
% Piet van Oostrum,

% Oct 11, 2000
% version 2.0
% Added LPPL license clause.

which is surely quite old now.

The command:

    grep offset `kpsewhich fancyhdr.sty`

returns nothing, so certainly \fancyhfoffset and \fancyheadoffset
are not defined in this version of the package.

Check at  http://ctan.tug.org/search/  or elsewhere
for a later version of the package.


Hope this helps,
