Hello,

could you post a step-by-step description of what you are doing and  
how exactly you are trying to generate the bibtex file? Be aware that  
you need to select a package which can manage the desired  
bibliographystyle. Natbib.sty is widely used while I - being in  
humanities - use biblatex or jurabib.
After choosing the sty-file and implementing it according to the  
manual you have to run latex-bibtex-latex-latex. Only after this you  
get correct citations and a correct bibliography.
Also: using bibdesk will ease the management of bib files. One thing  
I noticed is that your citations have inconsistent cite keys. You  
might want to make them consistent using Bibdesk so that errors in  
the citekeys are better visible and citekeys themselves better  
recognizable (just my 5c, you may of course stick with your approach).
