Had character encoding been an issue, lilypond would have choked on my input long ago.

I use BBEdit Lite (http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.shtml) to write code. It works in ASCII, mostly because it's meant more of a code editor than anything else.

I don't have any compression utility on my computer at the moment (forgot to copy it from old to new HD!), but I hope this file will transfer fine. If it doesn't I'll put more of an effort into finding something to compress it with.

Just a wild shoot; could it possibly be a problem with character
encoding? I don't really know anything about Mac so I don't know
what character encoding is used.

Could you please compress the file (using Zip or Gzip) and send
it as an attachment (to make sure that the mail program isn't
playing any extra tricks with the character encoding).
What text editor are you using to edit the files?

I swear on my mother's grave -- disregard the fact she's not dead -- that /Users/spamguy/test.ly is the file lily is reading. It's placed in the root directory for OSX. Thus, typing 'test.ly' should be sufficient for a filepath. (It has been since I started working with lily.)
Furthermore, the only other file named 'test.ly' is located in a remote corner of my hard drive, received as an attachment from this list a few days ago. That has a much lengthier filepath.

Hrm, interesting. With garbage added to the file, there are still no

I suggest to triple-check that lily is really reading your file.

(I suspect it is reading a different test.ly file)
