[OS X TeX] Beamer Bibliograph problem

[Samuel Harry Cox, Jr.]

The following example has an error in the bibliography list when compiled with TeXShop.  The citation [CBD06] appears correctly in the first frame, but in the frame for the bibliography list it prints a symbol instead of [CBD06]. The same happens if I change the style to numeric.  
The analogous code for article document class rather than beamer works as expected.  I do not know what to do. Any ideas?
