That's a Linux "extension" to CUPS that isn't supported or
recommended.  PID files have a long list of common problems, which
is why we don't use or support them in CUPS.

That said, /private/var/run/cupsd *is* the correct domain socket
path on Mac OS X, which does not exactly follow the Linux FHS
directory structure.

Everything looks OK, so my first guess would be firewall issues on
either the Mac or Linux system.
