How can that be?

This is what that directory looks like - http://postimg.org/image/olhb2zra9/

I can't find anywhere on my system (doing a search) the .map file.

Thank you for clarifying the importance of that file.
Since I didn't have any important information on it, can I start from 
scratch, and thus creating a new .map file?

Hi Adrian,

So, i made sure to copy the postgres directory then deleted the main one 
as to not conflict with a fresh install.

Once I got to the section in the instructions I used that says to run 
the - rake db:create:all
I get the following error:
rake db:create:all
FATAL:  could not open relation mapping file "global/pg_filenode.map": 
No such file or directory

BUT, if I look in the newest postgres/global directory, the 
pg_filenode.map is in there.

Any thoughts

Are you sure /Users/Serge/Desktop/postgres is not a link to somewhere?

Have you tried stopping Postgres and then restarting it?
