I'll give that a try tomorrow and see if it helps or not.
That will get you where you need to be unless I typed the commands wrong, which I don't believe I did.
Here's what it does ==>
Enables you to use fastboot b/c that folder has it, so as long as you download a CWM recovery image (go to his site, look for toro, get the 5.8.0.2 image; it will be a long ass file name ending in .img) and place it in the folder you'll be able to flash it over with fastboot (hence the command.)
Once flashed, you can do whatever with CWM but it may not "stick"--which sounds like what may be happening when you go to recovery at the moment. Check the link in that droidforums.net guide I linked; it has a link at the bottom of the page (flashing CWM recovery or something like that) will describe the issue and how to fix it. (FWIW, I've never seen that file but I always go straight to a rom.)
In case I typed it wrong, the general Mac fastboot prefix is
./fastboot-mac
With that, you need to flash the recovery
./fastboot-mac flash recovery recoveryimagename.img
Reboot the bootloader to make sure all is well.
./fastboot-mac reboot-bootloader
Then go into recovery and do work.
