Now I keep having to type in my admin password everytime I've been editing a file for a good amount of time. This is getting kind've annoying and can't seem to solve the problem with keychain. Is there any ideas you guys might have so I don't have to keep typing in my admin password to write to remote files?
Just to be sure, the files on the mounted drive aren't writable by your normal user, so TextMate requesting admin rights is not a bug?
You can grant TextMate permanent access to save files for which the user hasn't got the right by editing /etc/authorization -- this file should contain all the information about doing so.
The right you need to alter (add) is (as can be seen in the authorization requester) com.macromates.textmate.openfile.readwritecreate.
You may instead just want to add a rule for this right with a timeout of a few hours (I think the default timeout is 15 minutes), rather than always grant it.
Please also be careful when editing /etc/authorization (make a backup), since it's used at system startup time, so a corrupt file may break startup (happened for me once, where I then had to boot into single user mode and fix the file).
