Tim,

first, I believe you have to be 'root' to run fink... have you enabled 
'root' on your machine?  or, better yet, have you added yourself to the 
sudoers list on your machine?  if you don't know what I'm talking about 
email me off-list.


Anyway..

 when you're in /sw/bin  

you need to type:  ./fink selfupdate

that dot slash is very important when running commands that are not in 
your path.

Cheers,

J.
