Bill,

As of version 1414 or somewhere around there the LaTeX bundle stopped using
those environment variables.  Bring up the preferences dialog from the
bundle menu or opt-cmd-period, or by clicking on the preferences button in
the Typeset & View menu.

This will allow you to configure the bundle the way you want it again.
