Pledge fulfilled! Thank you Dan and kaos and Sam. Reservedname, I'm also on a Mac and would be very interested in knowing how you made out. Haven't taken the ota plunge yet but probably will do so now in the not too distant future.

alright so firstly forget all this samba and guest account nonsense. that got me nowhere. somewhere along the line of setting up samba i enabled root access (this doesn't seem to matter but including it to be thorough) which is trickier on 10.6 osx because useradd is a linux command and dscl echoed back domain admin errors so if you WANT to do this go to preferences, accounts, click the lock and log in, click log in options then network account server "join/add" then "open directory" click the lock again, now running "directory utility" access the edit menu which allows you to either enable or disable root user. Again, not sure if this was totally necessary but netinfo manager is gone in 10.6
ok real next step is making the smb shares on your mac available.
go to system preferences again but open up sharing instead of accounts
turn on file sharing and go to options. I disabled afp and ftp and only enabled SMB
instead of using /tmp/share or /public I just put motoshare2 in the root of my HD and shared it
make sure that motoshare folder can be read and written to and that you can share on SMB using an account to which you have the password
go to the files app on your bionic. Make sure both mac and bionic are on the same wifi network.
add network storage, using the IP address from the sharing preference pane on your mac. Then use WORKGROUP, motoshare2 for shared folder, and log in using your (i used my default which is an administrative account) account which was enabled to access the shared files/folder.
once the bionic has logged into the network share just ensure debugging is enabled, plug in the bionic to the mac
then go to the terminal and cd to motoshare2
then sudo /motoshare2/run.sh and bob's your uncle
if you want to make sure you don't get typos i drag and drop a lot of stuff into the terminal window from the finder when I can. (for instance just typing sudo and a space then dragging in run.sh and hitting enter.
I want to reiterate the clean up process did not work i think the adb server needed to be restarted or something. maybe look at the script to see where that fell down. Clean up was not necessary for me as superuser was present upon reinstall and voodoo indicated the device was rooted.
