[OS X TeX] Man pages for latex installation

For some reason the man command doesn't seem to find any man pages 
for binaries in my TeX installation, either gwTeX or TeX Live.

I seem to have the right entries in /usr/share/misc/man.conf (i.e. 
the following lines show up in it:)

## TeX modifications start at Fri May 18 07:56:22 EDT 2007
## Do not remove previous line
MANPATH /Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Man
## Do not remove next line
## TeX modifications end at Fri May 18 07:56:22 EDT 2007
## TeXMap modifications start at Fri May 18 07:56:22 EDT 2007
## Do not remove previous line
MANPATH_MAP /usr/texbin /Library/TeX/Distributions/.DefaultTeX/Contents/Man
## Do not remove next line
## TeXMap modifications end at Fri May 18 07:56:22 EDT 2007

Yes when I do 'setenv' is displays

MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man


which isn't right, and man <command> yeilds "No manual entry for 
<command> " if <command> is one of the TeX binaries.

What can I do to fix this?  Is there some other place that the path 
could be set, overriding what's in man.conf?

(I'm using tscsh as my shell; neither my .login file nor my .cshrc 
file contain manpath statements.)
