This is the expected behavior. Under OpenInkPot the BeBook's filesystems are not exported via USB but rather USB networking is used with SSH to allow access to the entire device. This is more flexible, but SSH isn't as mainstream as USB filesystems. I'm don't know what SSH software is best for the Mac, but I'm sure it is available.
