Mac fails to connect to BBB

The BeagleBone Black is running fine via USB on Mac.

I can see the mounted BEAGLEBONE disk...

I think it is related to me having some USB to Serial drivers installed, but not sure.

Uninstalling previous FTDIUSBSerialDriver

uki@ Extensions $ pwd

/System/Library/Extensions

uki@ Extensions $ ls -alt | grep FTDI

drwxr-xr-x    3 root  wheel   102 Apr 19  2013 FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext

uki@ Extensions $ sudo rm -r FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext

Password:

$ 

$ cd /Library/Receipts

$ sudo rm -r ftdi*

I searched for the NEWEST Mac OSX 64 bit drivers here (2.2.18):
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm

$ cd /usr/local/lib

uki@ lib $ sudo cp /Volumes/release/D2XX/bin/10.5-10.7/libftd2xx.1.2.2.dylib .

Password:

$

Make symbolic link

uki@ lib $ sudo ln -sf /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.1.2.2.dylib /usr/local/lib/libftd2xx.dylib

uki@ lib $ 

uki@ lib $ sudo cp /Volumes/release/D2XX/bin/ftd2xx.h /usr/local/include/ftd2xx.h

uki@ lib $ sudo cp /Volumes/release/D2XX/bin/WinTypes.h /usr/local/include/WinTypes.h

uki@ lib $ 

I tried to follow steps outlined here, but I got lost:
