'Special' mode flag on convert binary?

I followed the install directions, php works, all pages are rendered, original sizes are viewable but thumbnails are not generated.

'ls -al' at the shell prompt gives:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 richards staff 11664 May 4 10:03 convert*

What's the 's' bit for? I believe this is the problem on my OS X installation, as convert doesn't seem to be doing its job.

Any suggestions appreciated.

  The s in the permissions means setuid, which means that the application will run as if it was being run by the user richards (which is why you should not have it owned by root).
  
  With respect to your issue. Do you have a cache directory? What permissions does the directory have?
  
  Cheers
