hi,
have you tried to temporally remove all the other plugins and leave c4doctane only?
maybe another plugin is blocking c4doctane

hi tony,
could you specify the model of your mac pro and the os x version are you using?
from lion we can use quite all the pc gtx card, but in general, is necessary to feed the cards with extra power with an external psu.
in theory you could use the ati for display only and a gtx for octane only, but it must to be tested on your system

hi tony,
your mac pro is capable of working with 2x double size nvidia cards for octane plus an extra single size card for display only, but you need an extra psu for make it work.
you can stay with the ati for display and add a gtx only for octane but you could have some trouble with both ati and nvidia drivers working together.
here you can find an old discussion about mac pro and some solutions for the external psu:

Hey thank you!!
Really appreciate your help!!
One last thing..Can you suggest 2 good NVIDIA Cards?
Not so high on price.

Is that a good one?

yes and no. 750ti is not supporting yet, support can come for next versions, but you cannot work now with that.
