So, I did this but the same error keeps showing up. When I run  
"simfactory whoami" it shows: "command not found: simfactory

I checked the directory: simfactory/mdb/machines, and actually there  
is a file called: campos at MacBook.ini. I'm sure this is the one messing  
up the whole thing. Can I modify this file by hand?

Thank you!

Best wishes,
Camilo
