You appear to treat the bundled OS X application Inkscape.app (0.48.2) as if it is a regular linux command line application - which it is not (nor does it claim to be).

You cannot launch inkscape from inside the OS X application bundle on the command line like this. The best way if you really have to use the pre-compiled Inkscape.app from the command line (or in a shell script) is to launch the outer shell script wrapper, and always use absolute paths for any files referenced as command line arguments (input as well as output). Only thus inkscape-bin can find all the required resource files stored inside the application bundle (because the two outer wrapper shell scripts set up the environment).

Example:
$ /Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/script -f /path/to/drawing.svg --export-png=/path/to/export/drawing.png

Proposing to link as duplicate to
- Bug #181639 "Command-line invocation on Mac OSX partially broken”
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/181639>

(Some of the details may have changed since bug #181639 was filed, but the underlying difficulties are still the same: the current available OS X package (Inkscape 0.48.2) still depends on relative paths to find resources and linked shared libraries, and on a set of shell scripts which define the proper environment for the inkscape binary inside the self-contained and fully relocatable OS X application)

Closing - no feedback by the reporter on whether Inkscape.app was able to load the shared resources (icons, etc) correctly if following the provided instructions, or whether the problem still persisted.
