The ls that's installed on OS X doesn't support -X or any long arguments like --sort. Setting dired-use-ls-dired won't have any effect; dired will always use ls, but if that variable is non-nil, it will pass --dired to ls.
If you want that type of sorting, you can probably use something like fink to install coreutils, which will provide an ls more like what you're used to in Ubuntu.

Ah, so that's the problem... odd that FreeBSD wouldn't have that type of sorting. And I thought fink was dead but actually looks active... wonder why I'd thought that. Thanks.
I installed
coreutilsthrough Homebrew, and it apparently installs/usr/local/bin/gls. Iln -s'd this to/usr/local/bin/lsand then I didn't get the error in Emacs any more.@duma: This did not work for me under Yosemite 10.10.3. I then used, additionally,
(setq insert-directory-program "/usr/local/bin/gls"); use proper GNU lsin.emacsand it worked
