a) it is not TeXShop that must find the files, it is TeX.
b) current distributions of teTeX do not use the hashing mechanism for

just have some files you want to share, a directory like

	~/Library/texmf/tex

would do just fine for TeX inputs. The only thing you absolutely *need* 
is the correct first level below texmf/
