Apart from that, I recommend running lilypond from the OSX terminal as a test. You mentioned you were running it inside some other program; perhaps that other program is broken. Let's see if lilypond itself works; if it does, then we know the problem is the other program.
I'll be damned - I put in the \layout {} command to solve another problem I'd been having, and it seems you need both for everything to work properly. So now I've got midi, pdf and ps, and proper layout too. I still get this mystery file error at the end of the process, though, but who cares? :)
Thanks very much for your help - I've been too caught up in getting the music and lyrics working, and getting my brain around the meta- code at the same time was too much.
