[TxMt] Mate command broken

The enhanced terminal usage of TextMate creates a link to "/ 
Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate" in one of the  
directories declared in the PATH variable. I choosed the /usr/bin  
directory. The first error comes maybe because "/opt/local/bin"  
doesn't exists. The second error is strange, TextMate should ask you  
for the admin password while you clicked on the "Create Link" button.
You can still make the link by hand by typing :
sudo ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate /usr/ 
bin/mate
in the Terminal, after having entered your admin password.
