Dick,
It's a moot point for me since it all works now, but...this was a
completely new installation. You're right, I had previously
installed TeXLiveMTS-2007 but I then completely erased the drive and
reinstalled 10.4.8. So it should have been all new. Very strange
that installing TeXLive-2007 before MacTeX_Additions would have
caused this behavior...
