/usr/bin/unison

Yes. And this is where things fail. When I call:
/usr/bin/unison a.tmp b.tmp
as specified in the tutorial, I get the profile chooser. (The other
unison, in my ~/bin directory, is a text only version and works fine.)

Note that this has been reported several times by OS X users: some
(most?) command line options work, but specifying the roots like above
does not.
