Howdy,
Did you run
sudo mktexlsr
(and give your admin password) after installing the file?
Also, you shouldn't really be putting things in that branch of the texmf tree
but rather your personal branch of the tree which starts at ~/Library/texmf
(for TeX Live installed with the MacTeX installer) where ~/Library/ is the
Library directory in your HOME directory. If you've never placed anything there
before you'll actually have to create the texmf directory in ~/Library/ and
then the proper sub-directory structure. You don't really need the `base'. You
don't have to run the mktexlsr command if you place it in your personal texmf
tree.
Another proper location is in the texmf-local tree which starts at
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local and you should place it in the proper
sub-directory (again, you may have to create the structure) there. If you
placae the file there you will need to run the mktexlsr command as given in the
first paragraph.
The difference between the two locations is that items placed in your personal
texmf tree are available only to you personally while items placed in the
texmf-local tree are available to anyone who can log onto your computer.
In general nothing should be placed in the /usr/local/texlive/2011/ folder. One
advantage of placing you files into the texmf-local or personal texmf tree is
that they will automatically be available if you later update to MacTeX-2012
(TeX Live 2012) when it comes out.
Good Luck,
