Wouldn't it be better to use the TM_TSCOPE variable which the LaTeX  
bundle help already mentions? Bundles are frequently updated, so  
editing a hardcoded path in the bundle itself seems not ideal. I for  
one keep all LaTeX related apps in /Applications/TeX. Something like

"$TM_TSCOPE"/TeXniscope.app/Contents/Resources/forward-search.sh  
"$TM_LINE_NUMBER" "$TM_FILEPATH" "$PDF";

(I don't quite understand if simply TM_TSCOPE/... would also work.  
Also the bundle help should probably clarify whether to give the  
TM_SCOPE path with or without a trailing slash, with or without the  
app itself etc.)
