Try running g.extension in the GRASS Terminal, not from the GUI.  Works fine for me in the default GRASS_ADDON_PATH prefix (not global).

Global installation on OS X should be the /Library/GRASS addons folder, but I don't think there is a default behavior in g.extension for that yet.  You woud have to manually specify the prefix and make sure you are logged in as an administrator user (both the -s and -u flags force the prefix to be the GRASS app).

I used to type a command starting with 'chmod' to make that plain text file a Unix executable file. It worked in the past for several addons.
