Sorry 'bout putting this on the net, but the sender's machine denies his

About transferring graphics from Amiga to Mac and vice-versa:
Macview encodes/decodes MACBINARY encoded macpaint files, not the data-fork or 
resource-fork of a raw paint file.  Furthermore, it matches against both the
creator and type of the file, not just the type, thus it only encodes/decodes
Macpaint files.  To transfer an arbitrary paint file from the mac to the amiga,
first make it into a Macpaint file (use resedit, read it into Macpaint and save 
it or whatever).  Then use a Mac terminal emulator that supports macbinary
xmodem transfers (like Freeterm, Red Ryder, MacTerminal...) and send it to 
an Amiga terminal emulator using straight xmodem.  Macview should be uable to 
read this.

Do the reverse to transfer graphics from the Amiga to the Mac.

I really think you'll do better using GIF to transfer to the Mac II (you'll
at least preserve color).
