Hi Haris,

thanks for the quick reply.

Yes.

Yes, this is set too, as the full path, /Users/kjhealy/Documents/bibs.  
The problem is now a little weirder. I have this issue on two Leopard  
machines. One is a G5 desktop and one is a recent Macbook Pro.

I thought the problem might have to do with the symlinks I was using  
to point to ~/Documents/bibs. So I deleted the symlinks and moved all  
the bib files to ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib. So there's no ~/Documents/ 
bibs anymore, and no symlinks to it. I changed TM_LATEX_BIB in  
TextMate to reflect this (and changed BIBINPUTS in bash_profile, too).  
Now kpsewhich -show-path=bib inside TM gives

kpsewhich -show-path=bib/Users/kjhealy/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib:.:/ 
Users/kjhealy/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/ 
texmf.local/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.pkgs/bibtex/bib//:!!/ 
usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.gwtex/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/ 
texmf.texlive/bibtex/bib//:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf/bibtex/bib//:/

texmf.gwtex/bibtex///:!!/usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.texlive/bibtex///:!!/ 
usr/local/gwTeX/texmf/bibtex///

Again, latex/bibtex compile fine. via latexmk. Now when I try to  
complete a citation from a word, I get the following error:

/Users/kjhealy/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ 
Latex.tmbundle/Support/lib/LaTeXUtils.rb:114:in `read': Is a directory

I get this error with different documents and different bibfiles. If I  
uncheck the TM_LATEX_BIB variable in TM preferences and try to cite  
something, the cursor changes to a cross and nothing else happens.
