No, it shouldn't be nil. If you have a .bib file loaded, it should at
the very least contain the path to your .emacs.d directory.

I just realised, Ebib logs the file it's using for keywords every time a
.bib file is opened. Could you check Ebib's log buffer (press 'l' in the
index buffer) and see which keywords file Ebib reports?

I don't think so. Ebib should work on Emacs 24.4, and on OS X. But since
I have no idea what could be going wrong here, anything's possible...
