I hesitate to use tlmgr on command-line owing to the issue of user-specific vs. system-wide updating, especially with respect to fonts. Like many MacTeX users, my user-specific additions and modifications of pacakges and fonts are in ~/Library/texmf. Running the wrong flavor of some command -- is it mktexlsr? -- messes up the database of packages or fonts. 

(As I seem to recall -- but this is persistently murky to me -- it is either the difference between a user version of a command or a system version of that command, or else using sudo vs. not using sudo.)
