I'm having problems running the mate terminal command, I get the following error:
/usr/bin/mate: line 1: ../SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate: No such file or directory
Any help would be much appreciated.

Actually mate is a symbolic link to /Applications/TextMate.app/ Contents/Resources/mate
Maybe the easiest would be to delete /usr/bin/mate (actually it should be /usr/local/bin/mate AND please check in beforehand that / usr/bin/mate IS really a symbolic link) and open the TM menu 'Help > Terminal Usage' and press 'Create Link'.

It should be a symbolic link to the mate shell command inside the TextMate application bundle. TextMate tries to detect if you moved the application after the link was created, but maybe it failed.
In worst case, just remote the link and re-install the command (via the Help menu).

The command returns lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 50 7 Mar 18:35 /usr/bin/mate -> /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate
So I assume that's the right symbolic link target?

I've done that and it still doesn't work.

I believe that itself is a symbolic link, and it is the target for that symbolic link you seem to be missing -- do you have /Applications/ TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate?
If not, do you have /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/ Support?
I re-downloaded TextMate and reinstalled it and it worked. I hadn't upgraded in a while, so that probably was what caused the problem.
Thanks soooo much for all your help.
