Thanks for the report. I added some more detail about it here:
http://bugzilla.audacityteam.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33 .

It may be possible to create the Chain as a text file at 
~/Library/Application Support/audacity/Chains .

The syntax is each command name, colon, then if the effect takes
parameters in the Chain, space-separated parameters for that
command. There should be one command name per line.  

For example:

StereoToMono:
Normalize: ApplyGain=yes RemoveDcOffset=yes Level=-1.000000 StereoIndependent=no
SaveHqMaster1:
NoiseRemoval:
TruncateSilence: Db=-40 dB Minimum=200 Duration=1000 Compress=4.000000
Leveller: dB=-70 dB Passes=2
Normalize: ApplyGain=yes RemoveDcOffset=yes Level=-1.000000 StereoIndependent=no
ExportMp3:

For the built-in effects you can find the parameter names in the 
file for the effect in src/effects in the code, under 
TransferParameters".

For Nyquist effects the parameter name is the name after 
";control" in the effect's .NY file.
