Existence of the ~/.texlive2007 directory is normal. That's where  
config files for user-specific setups are stored. As a check I just  
created such a setup, and now get:

The pdfTeX warning you're getting is more reminiscent of a permission  
problem, possibly obtained by moving directories from one computer to  
another. I cannot look at this into more detail, sorry. My only  
suggestion would be to erase everything TeX-related on your computer,  
and reinstall from scratch. Possibly overkill, I hope others on this  
list can take up from there.

You may also try in Terminal, to see whether the Times New Roman fonts  
are found and where:

kpsewhich mntb8a.pfb
