I have a problem running the biblatex package on my Mac (not a problem with the installation, the wiki howto is crystal clear and works); I can find no way of using my .bib file when it is not stored in the texmf root folder. Contrariwise to Windows+Miktex where you can easily access the files and folders, on OS X, you have to log in as admin to add, edit, delete files the root texmf folders (not to mention texhash, etc.). As a result, it is not very convenient as such, when I make additions to my bib file, which is frequent, since I am writing a long paper.

I also never had the problem to add files to texmf-folder, this could be your preferences: you could change the status in the information-window (cmd+i) Best* Jess
