I was finally able to make this work. I searched google for "fink java detection" to see if I could figure out what was going on from the source and stumbled upon this post - http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29647282
I followed posted suggestion and installed "Java for OS X 2012-006" from http://support.apple.com/downloads#osxmountainlion and it worked. I THINK the different was that java from the apple developer downloads installs to /Library/Java... while the java in the link above installs to /System/Library/Java... The hilarious thing is that I actually moved the java from /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_37-b06-434.jdk/ to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk after your response. I didn't notice that yours was in /System... though. Thanks for the reply. Going back to my corner to cry now.
