It might also be helpful to add the final permissions edit as per the osCommerce instructions:
chmod 777 /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/images
mkdir /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/admin/backups
chmod 777 /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/admin/backups
chmod 777 /Library/WebServer/Documents/catalog/admin/images/graphs

Thanks again — I couldn’t have got up and running without this help!
