This calls mate as super user, but mate only passes a file name to TextMate, which is still running as your regular user -- so this doesn’t work as you expect.
ok thanks, and using : sudo open -a <absolute_path_2_TextMate> <my_config_file> would open another TextMate ?
No, it would effectively do the same as mate (i.e. sending the filename to TextMate).
There basically is no way you can currently do what you want -- but since ‘sudo mate’ is (by several users) expected to transfer the super user privileges to TextMate (for just that file), I will look into how this could possibly be pulled off sometime in the future (it would be a nice little feature).
