I think you were saying you read this thread, but in case not read over it carefully:
http://knucklecracker.com/forums/index.php?topic=14895.0

So, your error indicates that the game's process can't access /Users/joshuadale/.config/creeperworld3/.  That means that either you are running steam as a different user, or the .config directory for your user doesn't allow access.

What I would do is make sure you are running steam as joshuadale.  Then I'd bring up a terminal and type:
cd
ls -al

Take a look at the output and look for a line that looks like this:
drwxr-xr-x   5 virgilw  staff    170  May 1   09:57  .config

You are looking for the .config line and the stuff on the left tells you the permissions.  In my case it is owned by my account and I have all permissions (read, write, and execute).  Post back what your line looks like...
