I have my home directory set to be /Volume/Files, a second partition  
of my internal hard drive.  I have installed the latest version of pgf/ 
TikZ into ~/Library/texmf, and it should be compatible with the latest  
version of beamer.

I am following Pete's suggestions (in a separate response email), and  
reinstalling MacTeX.  Hopefully that will cure my problem.

Thanks,
Josh
