Dear Nathan,
If you are using TeXLive-2007 (ie MacTeX 2007), then mathdesign and the
associated Garamond are already installed.
Change the line 
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ugm}
to
\usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign}

The other problem is that the TeX name of the font is not "ugm" but mdugm.
You could use \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{mdugm}, but the package is more
comprehensive.



Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Luci
