No, thanks for your time.

I do not think those directories exist:

david-derbess-mac-pro:~ derbes$ ls -l ~/.texlive2007/texmf-var/fonts/tfm
ls: /Users/derbes/.texlive2007/texmf-var/fonts/tfm: No such file or  
directory
david-derbess-mac-pro:~ derbes$  chown -R derbes:derbes ~/.texlive2007
chown: derbes: Invalid argument
david-derbess-mac-pro:~ derbes$

I don't know what the hell is going on. I can typeset documents all  
right. Very odd.

Best wishes,
David
