I don't see any problems with these.

I am not certain where fink puts these. I don't use it. I might  
suggest you download the TeXLive disk image from your nearest ctan  
mirror, or you can get it here
http://tug.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/Images/texlive-inst.iso.zip

You will find that this image has all the necessary packages and  
classes, including apacite and apa.cls

Then you can your own files in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/ 
latex/local/

But in this case you won't have to.

Put \bibliographystyle{apacite} here

See how you get on with adding that line first. You don't have to use  
apacite for the style, but it is a safe place to start.

Cheers
