Getting Drush to play with MAMP and Acquia

I have a Mac workstation which is shared between two users, User°1 who first installed the machine, and User°2 who came along after, both administrators. User°2 has installed Drush using brew and Acquia Drupal and all this works very nicely. However, when User°1 tries to start Acquia Drupal he just gets an alert box saying that the Apache server failed to start – nothing shows up in the Apache error logs (the MySQL server starts ok though). I can’t help thinking this is something to do with permissions, but no idea where to look.

So user n°2 has installed MAMP and that all works ok except for one thing: running Drush.
Here is an example:

imac:~ martinknapp$ drush @eco pm-info views_bulk_operations
Extension        :  views_bulk_operations                                                                            
Project          :  views_bulk_operations                                                                            
Type             :  module                                                                                           
Title            :  Views Bulk Operations

Package          :  Views

Required by      :  admin_views

Configure        :  Aucun(e)

It appears to be running PHP5.2.4 (which I believe is almost certainly the reason I am constantly getting errors on db objects).
I’ve done everything I can to get this working, in particular by using the alias command like so:
alias drush='/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.27/bin/php /usr/local/Cellar/drush/6.2.0/libexec/drush.php'
but all to no avail.

Any ideas?
