Actually your problem is the other way around, it is textmate that is NOT executing pdfetex, at least doesn't seem to, which is what is puzzling me. So if you change the call that TeXShop makes and have it use gwTeX instead, do you then get the same log files?
Issuing the commands in a terminal, yes, I can always reproduce the error logs. The same occurs when I change the path in the Texshop preferences. pdflatex in the gwTeX tree always calls the pdftex engine rather than pdfetex and pdflatex in the tetex tree calls pdfetex.
Ok, it sounds like your problem is with gwtex then, you might want to take the discussion over to the "tex on macosx" mailing list.
If you want to be using the tetex you have installed instead, you'll want to use the switcher application that I think comes with the mactex install, so that it points back to your tetex install.
The difference basically is that TeXShop expects you to hardcode the paths to the executable (actually not anymore, i.e. downloading a new version of texshop should fix this, you might have to clear the preferences file though. Or you can change the paths yourself so that they point to /usr/texbin.
TextMate on the other hand uses whatever system the shell is set up to use. And so that would be whatever the switcher application sets it to be.
Here the preamble:
\documentclass[cjanssenlpmaa,backaddress=false]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{epstopdf} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage{pdfsync} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lucidabr} \usepackage[frenchb]{babel} \setkomavar{subject}{blablabla} \date{09 mars 2007}
That looks innocuous enough.
