No Propeller Chip Error

I have followed the instructions from: http://learn.parallax.com/mac on installing the SimpleIDE and USB drivers on my Macbook Pro (10.7.5)
The Propeller board appears under the system information -> USB devices as "Propeller Activity Brd" with DAWSEGTO as the serial number. The vender drive is Future Technology Devices International Limited so i believe the drivers are installed, whether they are working is a different topic.
I loaded the Welcome.side project "Hello World" to test the connection as per the instructions. The only devices to appear in the port selection is the one labeled "/dev/cu.usbserial-DAWSEGTO".
The Build appears to be successful however there is an error when it tries to load the program to the board. Below is the entire output from the build status window.
Project Directory: /Users/username/Documents/SimpleIDE/My Projects/
propeller-elf-gcc -v GCC 4.6.1 (propellergcc_v1_0_0_2097)

propeller-load -s cmm/Welcome.elf
propeller-elf-objdump -h cmm/Welcome.elf
Done. Build Succeeded!
propeller-load -Dreset=dtr -I /opt/parallax/propeller-load/ -b ACTIVITYBOARD cmm/Welcome.elf -r -p /dev/cu.usbserial-DAWSEGTO
error: no propeller chip on port '/dev/cu.usbserial-DAWSEGTO'
The only alteration i've made to this output is replacing the username.
I have no issues running the activity bot on my windows box however it is not very portable. I am at a loss to how I should go about getting the activity bot to work with Mac.

Glad you were able to get things working on both platforms.
