open 'audio/midi setup' and look for the driver there.  confirm that 
it is there (okay, midi monitor saw it, fair enough).

then .. open msDrivers and wait.  watch Console.app.  check the 
midishare.log file in ~/Library/Preferences/MidiShare/ .. notice all 
alerts/msgs.

copy/cut/paste to the list for dissection ..

close msDisplay, open msDrivers all by itself.  msDrivers -should- 
see the EDIROL interface .. however, it can sometimes take a second 
for the interface to refresh.

yes, this is a clue.  check the permissions on your midishare.ini 
file.  delete it, or move it out the way (mv) and try to start up 
msDrivers again ..

have you had earlier versions of MidiShare onboard, or is this your 
first install?

check all logs, lets see if they provide a clue..
