Ok, so after investigating this for a while, I noticed that it has to do with specific settings in your local MacOSX machine.
Here is the thread that led me to a work around:

You basically need to run two commands in sudo mode:
To use the serial library, first open
Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app
and enter the following:
sudo mkdir -p /var/lock
sudo chmod 777 /var/lock
I'll try to find a more permanent solution.
I remember reading somewhere that there is a version that doesn't use locks and you don't need to run those commands. I just need to figure out how.

I have recompiled using a processing 1.5.1 instead of the current released one.
Can anyone with a Mac try this version to see if it works before I package in the installer?
