Try to move the .osz files to your "Songs" folder while osu! is closed, then open osu! again. They should be processed when you go to beatmap listing screen.

Then maybe you have some kind of permissions issue, and I don't know much about Mac, I don't think I can help you with this... Sorry. I hope someone here can help you.

Hmm is it related to < and * in the beatmap name?

I guess you'll have to keep renaming .osz files with those characters in them for now.

Edit: Confirming this under low priority for now. If anyone running on mac doesn't get the same behaviour please post.
