LilyPond binary location should be set to 
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin
Yes, because due to a bug (that is to be fixed in next release), 
convert-ly is always run using python, and python should be located in 
lilypond binary location. So if you create a symlink to your python in 
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin it will work.

That's a bug in 894. Will be fixed in next release.
