This is intended to enclose text selected in TextMate in quotation marks, and then escape all of the following characters within the the quotes, and then use that as the argument to pointfree. What's wrong with how I'm doing it?

If this is a TextMate command you can do:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/escape"

arg = STDIN.read arg.chomp! system("pointfree #{e_sh arg}")
