Unfortunately there's a naming problem that has arisen.  There's  
another csv2latex program around that converts a csv file to latex  
table format.  Perhaps that's what you have when you run from the  
command line.  My script modifies the contents of the clipboard  
directly, and now (as Herb notes) should reside within ~/Library/ 
TeXShop/bin
