Admitting defeat and going back to plan A worked a charm! The link you gave me for the driver was exactly right for the cable and radio I have and I just did my first download from radio without a problem.
Now I just need to figure out all the fields and what frequencies I want to program.
Thanks for your help!

do a LiveCD.
I have a Baofeng UV-5RAX radio and the Baofeng USB cable.
Will that work?
It was a wise decision to go with the LiveCD. Linux handles the low quality USB cable drivers with much less fuss than OS X or Windows. Unfortunately, it seems Linux doesn't support your keyboard driver! You'd think it would just work as a generic HID like all other keyboards...
Might as well admit defeat and go back to Plan A: install the appropriate drivers on the native OS. I suspect the link under the "counterfeit/generic" section is what you need for your cable: http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MacOS_Tips
