What version of ConTeXt are you using? I don't get this error with the latest beta. Updating your MacTeX (which really is a slightly modified TeXLive) might be difficult, so I would recommend trying the minimals. Arabic: others will be able to help you; there is a number of Arabic users on this list some of whom are regulars.
