Summary: COLLADAMaya not showing up on my Mac/maya2009 after install

Initial Comment:
Hi
I am new here so forgive me if i am asking things in the wrong place / wrong way.

I have installed COLLADAMaya_0.9.5.520_bin.dmg on a MacBookPro (OSX 10.5.7)
When i open maya2009 i expected to be able to import collada /. dae files.
I read that i need to do 2 things after the install:
1 ) Enabling the Maya plug-in in Maya Window->Settings/preferences/Plug-in manager. 
2) Look in File Import dialog: File -> Import. 

But i can not see anything that refers to collada or .dae inside these maya plugin/import tools.
That makes me think that :
- maybe COLLADAMaya is not installed properly
- or maybe i don't know what it looks like when it IS installed
- or maybe this version does not run on maya 2009 on mac OSX

I feel very ignorant here.
Am I doing the wrong thing?
Any help would be awesome.
cheers

Message:
Do you see the plug-in named "COLLADAMaya" in
"Window->Settings/preferences/Plug-in manager"?

Have a look in Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2009/plug-ins, there has to be
the COLLADAMaya.bundle file after the installation. If it isn't there,
there was something wrong with the installation. Please try to install
again. If it doesn't work, please tell me.
