Thank you. That was basically it. Doing mktexlsr got me closer, but I 
was still picking up
some old beamer and pgf files under /opt/local/share/texmf. Once I 
shifted these out of the
way, everything was fine.

At present, I have texmf, texmf-texlive, texmf-texlive-dist and 
texmf-local under /opt/local/share.
Are all of these necessary? Is there some way to expunge tex files in 
these directories that are no
longer used?

Thanks again.
