Check to see if sending data to / receiving data from the Arduino unit is working by using a different app such as Cornflake (serial terminal for Mac OS X) - instead of using the Arduino IDE & the Serial Monitor.

In addition, you may want to check out if you could benefit from switching to Xcode (in terms of debugging features, etc.).
