I remember having this issue. The problem was that I used 'screen' from MacPorts. Apple's 'screen' (/usr/bin/screen) works fine with 'mate' since MacOS X 10.6. There is a description of this issue on the MacPorts bug tracker: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/18235

The mate command uses distributed objects to talk to TextMate. Starting with 10.5 or 10.6 this is no longer supported from a shell session when there is no connection to the window server (AFAIK).
As a workaround you can alias ‘mate’ to ‘open -a TextMate’. It won’t be able to do -w though.
Also, I seem to recall Apple patching the version of screen shipping with 10.5 and 10.6 to maintain this connection to the window server. If you built screen yourself or installed it with an external packaging system, you might want to try /usr/bin/screen instead.
