TeXLive 2007 and bibliographies (was: Re: [OS X TeX] euro symbol? [new problem])

I've tried about everything I can think of to make BiBTeX and TeXLive  
2007 work together, without success.  I have noticed the following.   
If \bibliographystyle{dcu} appears in the preamble, I get this error  
message:

I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file NotesSets.5.aux.

If it appears outside the preamble, say at the end of the document,  
then I get this (these) error message(s):

I couldn't open style file dcu.bst
---line 15 of file NotesSets.5.aux
: \bibstyle{dcu
:              }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no style file---while reading file NotesSets.5.aux.

As far as I can tell, everything is where it should be and path  
settings are what they should be.  I'm stumped.  Any and all help  
will be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Jeff Roland
