That it wants password is not always a sign of lack of premissions.  
Currently it asks for password when it can’t save the file, but think  
it should be able to (i.e. retrying as root).

That’s very strange. TextMate keeps no locks on the file, or keeps it  
“open”. So closing the window should make absolutely no change to the  
disk or the state of the file on disk (i.e. open count, or advisory  
lock state).

Is this on a normal HFS+ formatted local disk?

Could you check Console to see if there should be a problem with the  
file reported there?
