This seems to be an operating system problem rather than a PostgreSQL problem,
and I don't know Mac OS, but I'd suspect that even though you have the permissions
on the file itself, you might lack permissions to traverse the directories where
it is.

What do you get when you try to read the file with a different program (e.g. "cat")?
Can cou "cd" into the directory where the file is?
