Thanks for your help, Chris, Richard, and Bastien. Chris's method of
loading the file explicitly will be useful until I get the path sorted
properly.

I don't use Pete's script, but I do essentially the same thing and it
doesn't work
BUT, I think I have now found the culprit... It is all the fault of
fink (for the non Mac users, fink is a package manager and repo for OS
X, a bit like yum or apt, except a lot less useful....)
At some point I had added the following line to my ~/.profile
test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh
and that file, unbeknownst to me had been setting the INFOPATH
environment variable. This means that Info-directory-list gets
initialised from INFOPATH and that Info-default-directory-list is
completely ignored :(
So, the answer seems to be to unset INFOPATH in the shell and to merge
the fink info directories into my Info-default-directory-list
At least, I assume this will work. I don't want to restart my emacs at
the moment since I would lose too much context, but I will test it out
when I next have a quiet time.
Cheers
Will
