I now recall I had similar problems (that were worked-around with gfxCardStatus) but they went away with some OS update (I have a MB with nvidia GT 650). Are you running latest & greatest stuff from Apple?

The "header file not found" error is an Apple bug, described in doc/BUGS:
"OS X also has a problem with run-time compile of kernels that include
header files. A workaround is to cd to the src directory and run each
OpenCL format once. After that, the kernel binary is cached so you can
move away from the src directory."
Please also note that you can say "john -test -format=opencl" to test all OpenCL formats at once! OTOH, the for loop you used sometimes works better, especially if one format crashes.
