David,

I don't know anything about the Mac OS, but my understanding is that
it is very unixish.  If that's true, in addition to William's
suggestions, you might make sure you have permission to write to
wherever GRASS is trying to create the sockets.  For example, on my
Linux box, sockets for user "ben" are created in /tmp/grass-ben.  If
"ben" didn't have write permissions on /tmp, no socket(s) could be
created.

Regards,
Ben
