You want to specify the value using '-array-add', e.g.:

    defaults write com.macromates.textmate OakShellVariables \
       -array-add '{enabled = 1; value = "/Users/simon/classes";  
variable = "CLASS_PATH"; }'

Unfortunately there's no way to have two applications “use” the  
defaults at the same time (w/o the risk of having one flush and  
overwrite changes done by the other).
