Before attempting to diagnose exactly what's wrong:

- You're using the (default) OT1 encoding which is no longer fully  
supported in current incarnations of the PSNFSS package (of which the  
times package is a part).

- You're using the times package which is a deprecated part of  
PSNFSS, and isn't needed anyway given the mathtime package makes all  
the necessary declarations.

- I'm not sure what your redefinition of \rmdefault does. It may as  
well be what's causing your problem.

See /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/psnfss/psnfss2e.pdf.

What you can try is replacing:

>    \usepackage{times}
>    \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ptmx}

by

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}

or

\usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}

and see what happens. If that still doesn't work, you may try to add  
immediately afterwards (and before calling mathtime):

\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scaled=.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}
