Some diagnostic questions-- When there are multiple items, can you isolate one of them that's causing the problem, independently of the others? That is, do all of the records work by themselves, but then it fails when they are together? If that's so, that is indeed strange behavior.
What BibTeX .sty file are you using for your preview in BibDesk? Look in BibDesk -> Preferences -> TeX preview. You should see "style and template." Is the style there one that works when you run BibTeX on a document and it succeeds? You should have /usr/texbin/pdflatex and /usr/texbin/bibtex respectively for the paths to pdflatex and bibtex, respectively. Finally, use the toolbar tex preview item to see the preview. When the little widow comes up with the preview, click on "log" at the left edge of the window. Cut that out and paste it into an email and send it to the list. That will give us a head start. Unless Adam or Christiaan somehow already have the answer to this by pure intuition!
