Ah, so OzTeX is unable to run Ghostscript.  This is caused by a mistake
at the start of your unix_path setting:

> unix_path=:usr/local/bin:...

It should start with:

unix_path=/usr/local/bin:...

Actually, you should probably just remove or comment out your Local setting
and stick to the Default setting:

unix_path = /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current
