Probably the biggest difference between GUI apps (like Sage.app) and starting 
things from the command line is environment variables.  You can add environment 
variables for GUI apps in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist though it will require 
logging out to take effect.  See e.g. 
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#qa/qa1067/_index.html

You can test to see if this is the problem by running
        import os
        os.environ["PATH"]
and looking for /usr/texbin.

I thought there was some discussion of this before, but I can't seem to find it 
now.  Anyway, you might be able to get it to work by adding to the PATH 
environment variable in ~/.sage/init.sage.  Whether that works or not let us 
know--this should probably be in a FAQ somewhere.
