It doesn't make sense to put pdftex.def and epstopdf.sty in a place where
OzTeX can find them because they only work when you run teTeX's pdflatex
command (and it should find those files in the teTeX texmf trees).
To call pdflatex from OzTeX's Tools menu you first need to install teTeX.
To use epstopdf.sty you also need to install Ghostscript (Gerben's installer
will do both for you).

If you *have* installed teTeX and Ghostscript then I'll need more clues to
figure out what is going wrong.  Start up Terminal and type these commands:

% which pdflatex
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/pdflatex

% kpsewhich epstopdf.sty
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf.sty

% which ps2pdf
/usr/local/bin/ps2pdf

Also select Show > Files and Folders from OzTeX's Config menu and make sure
your unix_path setting includes these 2 directories (among others):

/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current
