This is your private area.

That's the system's one.

This obviously is a private property of TeXShop! Isn't this mentioned 
in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/README.howtexfindsfiles.txt?

An excellent choice.

Have you seen these?

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/doc/latex/ucs
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/tex/latex/ucs

You should move your ucs installation from /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf 
into /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex. And re-run texhash!

Everytime you can check: 'kpsewhich ucs.sty' -- I get:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/tex/latex/ucs/ucs.sty

never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable
are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent.       -- H. L. Mencken
