Does it make LINKS in /usr/local/bin then?  because otherwise I am
very confused as I know _I_ didn't make the links.

I beleive what happened was that /usr/local/bin was copied from the
previosu drive when I reinstalled OS X.  If there were links there,
perhaps they were replaced with copies of the target files?

/usr/local/bin $ ls -ls *tex*

none of this should be there?

tex appears to be working from the gui (TeX SHop and BBedit) but not
from the commandline.
