I have managed to get it to display the correct info file by binding a 
function key like:

(global-set-key (kbd "<f9> i") (lambda ()
                                 (interactive)
                                 (info

"~/Private/Dropbox/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/doc/org")))

This seems to be a bit of a sledgehammer/nut solution though.
