[OS X TeX] BibDesk preview problem

	I'm trying to see a preview of my references in BibDesk (which I  
recently upgraded to v1.3(v626)), and the program seems not to  
see .bst files in the ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst directory.  (I'd  
like to use a custom generated style file that comes pretty close to  
Chicago that has worked in the past and works with my TeX  
installation generally.)  The style file worked in BD 1.2.10, an BD  
has no problem typesetting its default templates.

	I've tried "sudo texhash", but no avail.

	Any further suggestions?

Here's the log from BibDesk:
TeX preview generation failed.  Please review the log below to  
determine the cause.
