The opening post refers to MultiBeast 3.6.0 - the new ATI kexts are in the latest versions of Snow Leopard and Lion already so you don't need to install them via MultiBeast any more. Just running Software Update will get your card working.

From the looks of your BDMesg and your IOReg everything looks fine.
