If I simply define the command to be "bibtex ${TM_LATEX_MASTER%.*}.rsp.aux", bibtex itself gives the error "Need exactly one file argument".If I instead define the command to run on the actual file name (i.e. bibtex master.rsp.aux), it works.

That looks to me as if your TM_LATEX_MASTER contained whitespace.

Could you add, in front of that,

echo $TM_LATEX_MASTER >&2

and see what that returns?

So I assume the problem is that by using the second alternative, it is bibtex that tries to guess the meaning of the expression "${TM_LATEX_MASTER%.*}.rsp.aux", which it can't, while in the first

No, that's the shell's task. (This ain't CP/M.)
