Ok by using the unix command ll in a terminal session I assume you are a bit familiar with Unix. The issue here is the executable permission is not set on the Squeak VM Opt. It should look like
-rwxr-xr-x 1 johnmci staff 2624364 May 16 11:00 Squeak VM Opt
Lacking the 'x' means it won't execute.
Given the OLPC-Etoys070726.zip and in the Finder if you control-click on it to get the command menu and pick 'Open with' it should say that 'BOMArchiveHelper.app' is the application used to open a ZIP file.
Double clicking on the ZIP file in the macintosh Finder should also run BOMArchiveHelper to unzip the file.
I suspect you used the unzip command line tool to unzip the zip file, in checking this way of unzipping the archive I found it does not restore the execute bit properly.

Hi folks, I am thinking of you all at Squeakfest this week and thought I'd try to install/play with the OLPC-Etoys that was advertised on the Squeakfest site. Downloading that .zip file and unzipping it, I followed the terse README and dragged 'etoys.image' onto 'Squeakland.app', but nothing happened, i.e. Etoys didn't pop up. Still being a somewhat newbie in OSX, could someone offer up some clues?
Previously, I had downloaded etoys from squeakland and that ran fine on my Mac.
Fwiw, I'm running OSX 10.4.10 and have:
