That's one reason to put it under your home (personal, user) directory.
Normally, your TeX distribution will define a "user" directory, where
you can put stuff that is "just yours". In your case, it's like to be
something like /Users/stefan/texmf/, but I don't know for sure, as I too
am not on Mac. But if that were right, then you could put your bib files
in /Users/stefan/texmf/bibtex/bib/, and they'd no more be lost on update
than any of your other "personal" files.

It may be that you're supposed to do this differently on Mac. Anyway,
texhash is a command that updates the databases TeX keeps to tell it
what's where. Any time you install a new package, or put a new file
somewhere in your TeX tree, you have to tell TeX to update those
databases. On Linux, you do this by running "sudo texhash". But on Mac,
maybe you do something else.
