I'm guessing that you're having the typical macosx problem, where you expect the system Dock to recognize your $PATH, but it doesn't. You can get some background on this here:

The ``Original Value'' is emacs telling you what was used when emacs was built (dumped), not some value it had when you started the executable that was later changed.
