Thanks for your help, Chris, Richard, and Bastien. Chris's method of loading the file explicitly will be useful until I get the path sorted properly.

Does that help? > I don't use Pete's script, but I do essentially the same thing and it doesn't work BUT, I think I have now found the culprit... It is all the fault of fink (for the non Mac users, fink is a package manager and repo for OS X, a bit like yum or apt, except a lot less useful....) At some point I had added the following line to my ~/.profile test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh and that file, unbeknownst to me had been setting the INFOPATH environment variable. This means that Info-directory-list gets initialised from INFOPATH and that Info-default-directory-list is completely ignored :( So, the answer seems to be to unset INFOPATH in the shell and to merge the fink info directories into my Info-default-directory-list At least, I assume this will work. I don't want to restart my emacs at the moment since I would lose too much context, but I will test it out when I next have a quiet time.
