I have this faint recollection that when you set up Chime there is also something that has to be done on the server side; that is, you cannot just set it up on your machine and have it work. Your organizational web server must in some way know something to do with particular file types before you get it. Does that sound familiar, and might that be an issue here as well?
Yes, that is true. When I first started giving ACS journals MOL files to display as WEOs, Netscape 4.7 for Mac didn't recognize them as MOL files, because the ACS Web server was delivering them with a MIME type that said, "This is a text file." They had to change something server-side to deliver the file with the correct MIME type. Interestingly, this didn't seem to be a problem on PCs, because when the PC browser received a file for which the MIME type and extension directed it to do different things, the extension took precedence. On the Mac, the MIME type took precedence.
Anyway, the ACS fixed its problems, and the MOL files are now being delivered with the correct MIME types. I'm using the same MOL files that work with Chime, just to be sure there's nothing wrong with them. So I don't think it's the issue.
Although MacOS X now recognizes Jmol as an application (thanks, Henry, Tim, and Phil!), it is still not possible to set Jmol as the default app for opening MOL files. I've posted a message to Apple to see if there's a bug in the Finder, a flaw in Jmol, or neither.
