One of the XBee chips that I have does not seem to work. I have installed Moltosenso Iron software to manage the connection with the XBee. It makes things very easy and is compatible on OS X http://www.moltosenso.com/client/fe/browser.php?pc=/client/fe/download.php

I also had to install Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers to allow OS X to recognize the XBee chip. http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

I spent a few hours reading through the XBee datasheet familiarizing myself with it's functionality and how to configure a network.
