It is installed into:
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/powerpc-darwin/ done that, thanks.

Hmm haven't got one of those. But I installed from the command line.

OK, here's something.

In the TeXShop preferences I switched from pdftex for the typesetting engine
to Personal Script, and in the Personal script field I entered ./pdflatex.

And you know? It worked.

But, the permissions for pdflatex are:
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  6 May  9 10:58 pdflatex -> pdftex
