Thank you Trevor, Rob and Allan for helping me figure this out. This is a brand new Macbook Air and I assumed the symlink was created by TM2. After reading your replies I realized that the ~/bin was migrated from my iMac along with the mate symlink. I just deleted it and installed from preferences and it worked.
I was also thrown off track by James Grays blog posthttp://blog.macromates.com/2011/mate-and-rmate/#more-278 which says, "To install or upgrade mate, just select a Location and hit Install. You may be prompted to Replace an old version, if present." It obviously does not replace the old version if present.
Happy holidays and a healthy and prosperous new year to ALL.

Do you remember if it gave an error (and if so, which)?
