Joysticks in Mac OS X (AdvanceMAME)

I compiled and installed AdvanceMAME (and AdvanceMENU) and can play 
with the keyboard, but my USB Belkin Nostromo n45 does not seem to work 
at all, not even the buttons. I have looked at the documentation and 
web site and can't find any information on this except that it says 
that the SDL driver should support joysticks on Mac OS X. When in the 
controls setup there is no response to movement/button presses from the 
joystick, and if I choose the "Calibrate Joystick" menu item, nothing 
happens.

I did find in env.txt that there is an environment variable for 
specifying the device that is your joystick (if I'm understanding it 
correctly - I can't say that I really understand the handling of 
devices in Unix.) I looked in the /dev directory, but I don't see any 
of the mentioned default devices, "/dev/js*, /dev/input/event*, 
/dev/input/js*" and nothing with a name that even seems to remotely 
imply a joystick. The joystick does work in MacMAME (although the 
analog sticks currently have some issues, which is part of why I was 
looking at trying AdvanceMAME.) Does anyone have a joystick working in 
OS X with AdvanceMAME 0.90.0 in any capacity? Is there some setup I 
need to do to get this working?
