Hi Matthew

The script doesn't work for me :( , but I have a fix :) .

To be more precise, it works perfectly when I have local bib files, but 
when the bib files are located in the TeX tree, kpsewhich doesn't find 
them.

More precisely again, I don't think kpsewhich is ever queried for them. 
In the get_kpath_file function, you have the line:

   set lookup_texfile_script to "if ( [[ -x `which kpsewhich` ]] ) then 
" & kpse_lookup & else_default

I think it automatically elses because kpsewhich is not found in the 
default path of the "do shell script" environment.
The script works if I use the following line instead:

   set lookup_texfile_script to 
"/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/kpsewhich " & fname

You will probably prefer something more elaborate and robust, but that 
appears to be a philosophical difference between us :)

Cheers,
Will
