I just installed a new HDD on my computer (running Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.1 and OS 10.8.3) and imported my wallet.dat from old system.  Waited for blockchain to sync and I got the "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct" alert at block 227336.  

I've been trying to reindex the blockchain using the command line but I can't figure out how to do it from the terminal.

i've tried this but it doesn't work.
Code:
open Bitcoin-Qt.app -reindex


also have tried making a bitcoin.conf with the contents of reindex=1 and it doesn't work either.  

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Maybe try like this:

Code:
/Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt -reindex
