Folks, I wasn't aware that there is a cutting edge version of the cutting edge version. I just downloaded that and installed it (a little bit against the "never change a running system" theory). TM and latex compilations still work fine, but I get an error message now, which I don't know what it means:
/Users/clausman/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/tm/ process.rb:125: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local/bin in PATH, mode 040777
Does either of you have any pointers? Thanks for your help, Claus

Hello again, Seems I am still having some trouble with the latex bundle. Basically, the first time I attempt to typeset after launching textmate, I get:
================================================== The current PATH is:
/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin Please add the directory containing ?kpsewhich? to PATH in TextMate's Shell Variables preferences.
Alternatively, the PATH can be retrieved from Terminal but this requires a relaunch: (button to perform this operation) ==================================================
Now as a matter of fact the correct path is present in my shell variables in textmate's preferences (in "shell variables" under "advanced"), as opposed to just /usr/bin, /bin and sbin as mentioned in the message; furthermore, it is already in my usual PATH. If I do click on the button, it quits and restarts and everything is ok. Checking the preferences, a new PATH var has been added, containing my shell path. This addition occurs even if the exact same path variable is already present in textmate's preferences.
If I now quit and restart textmate, the same process is repeated, and a new path variable added to the preferences before I can typeset (identical to the other ones already there), and everything works after that, until I quit again, and so on.
This did not happen before I updated my latex and support bundles.
Maybe I'm just being thick, but I can't see what is going on, and this is starting to get annoying. Any ideas?
Update TextMate to bleeding edge by ?+Click (Option+click) the ?Check for updates?? button in TextMate's Software Update preference pane.
I had the same problem and updating to the cutting edge did not help. I had to include /usr/texbin in the path in ~/.MacOSX/ environment.plist
Updating to cutting edge is not enough. You have to ?+Click (Option +Click) the ?Check now? button in the Software Update prefpane. This downloads a special TM build that corrects a bug with the way TextMate puts Shell Variables into the environment. After this, setting ?PATH? in the Shell Variables section of preferences is enough.
