So I figured out what was wrong with my GTDalt installation:

1) I had the GTD file with a suffix of .txt instead of .gtd. I suppose I should have figured this out, but I don't remember reading it in any of the instructions.

2) I had to upgrade the dialog plugin. As a newbie, I typically rely on Get Bundle to fetch my packets, but with a plug-in you need to do it through Subversion and the command line. I also needed to create a folder in Application Support/Textmate called "PlugIns."

 

Now everything words as it should except:

Ical sync continues to create calendars, but not add to do items. I get this error msg:

/Users/lawrencegoodman/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/GTDAlt.tmbundle/Support/bin/gtdalt_ical_synchronization.scpt: execution error: /Users/lawrencegoodman/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/GTDAlt.tmbundle/Support/bin/get_lists.rb:5:in `require': No such file to load -- ../lib/GTD.rb (LoadError)

from /Users/lawrencegoodman/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/GTDAlt.tmbundle/Support/bin/get_lists.rb:5

 (1)

Anyone know what this means?

Thanks for the help.
