I see you have also posted to the FreeTDS list - that is a good idea. The fact that you can run iodbc-config shows you do have the iODBC driver manager installed. The --odbcinstini argument is telling you which file to add your drivers to. If the file does not exist, create it. Similarly with the odbc.ini file.

iodbctest is the command line app you can use to test your dsns are working. iodbctestw is a unicode aware version of the same app.

You need to go ahead and create your odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini files based on my previous comments and the help on the freetds web site detailing what to put in them. But bare in mind the freetds site instructions are probably for the unixODBC driver manager and iODBC (the driver manager you are using) is slightly different in the way you name driver and data sources - see my previous reply.

I'm no expert OSX person but if you get no joy from the freetds list I might be able to help further.
