Did you regenerate your tex path list? Try doing
$ sudo texhash
Then do
$ kpsewhich sagetex.sty
and make sure that the path it prints out is your user tex path. For
example, I get:
$kpsewhich sagetex.sty
/Users/grout/Library/texmf/tex/generic/sagetex/sagetex.sty

:-(
Something about how this is installed makes it harder to do this. I
can probably install *new* packages as easily as on the FAQs, but
replacing this one seems to be a little harder.
