I've shepherded a number of people through the transition from Windows and Classic OS to OS X, and oddly the Windows folks pick it up more quickly. My theory is that they're *expecting* large differences and so are more open to the changes, while OS X is JUST close enough to OS 9 to be familiar and just different enough to mess you up. The single thing that causes the most heartburn are the simplified open and close dialogs in programs. Show her that clicking the reveal arrows to show the full file system interface, and that it has to be done on each program, but just once, and things will go a LOT more smoothly.
