Yup, restarting the Finder did not do the trick as I first thought it would, 
but logging out and logging in again did solve it (actually, my battery died, 
so I had to do a cold reboot). The setting that I believe must have been the 
culprit was TEXINPUTS: It pointed to an old teTeX installation and did not 
contain the current directory (.). Setting TEXINPUTS to the right value from 
the command line helped (actually, the value of TEXINPUTS is correctly defined 
in a ~/.shenv file I include for login shells, but I tested to set it 
explicitly when invoking BibDesk to make sure), and I could reproduce the exact 
same error as when BibDesk was launched from the Finder by setting TEXINPUTS to 
the value in environment.plist. That kind of settles it I guess. Thanks for 
your help!

PS I now know Aquamacs uses the environment defined by the login shell and 
doesn't care about environment.plist and therefore it took me some time to 
figure out the difference: Why was it that Aquamacs could launch pdflatex but 
not BibDesk? DS
