FTDI driver not found by MAC

I am trying to connect an XR-2 to MacDive using a MacBook Pro. When helping Nick last year get information off of my XR-2 we were successful. Now however, I cannot connect the XR-2 to MacDive. I have "supposedly" installed the correct driver for my operating system Mac OS X 10.6.5.
However, when I look under System Profiler under USB and the USB Device Tree, there is no indication of the FTDI product.
I am assuming this is why I cannot get the DC to connect with MacDive. Any suggestions as to what is happening with the driver?
The cable is fine and I can get the DC to connect to a PC using the Aeris software, so I know that all works.

Connect your dive computer, start a terminal and run the command:
system_profiler SPUSBDataType > usb.txt
and send me the usb.txt file. Next, run the command:
ls /dev/tty.*
and send its output too.

Nothing happens. Just text in the terminal window:

I tried the "trouble shooting" stuff using the veo250 file. This is what I get in Terminal
chmod: Invalid file mode: u+v
localhost:Desktop billmorgan$ chmod u+x veo250
localhost:Desktop billmorgan$ ls /dev/tty.*
/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Modem /dev/tty.usbserial-20030001

You should now have a file called "usb.txt" in your home directory. Email that to us.
