So wait, let's get things straight. Does iCal create one calendar per  
context? If it doesn't, then make sure that there is a variable  
called TM_GTD_CONTEXT    (note, no S) that has a space separated list  
of your contexts. Ideally, make sure your contexts only have  
alphabetic characters.

If enough calendars are created but they don't get populated, then we  
have a harder time. The next thing to do is make sure that there is a  
variable called  TM_GTD_DIRECTORY, that points to the absolute path  
to the directory containing your gtd files. With all this set up,  
create a new command in the GTDAlt bundle called whatever you want,  
with the one line:

/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles/GTDAlt.tmbundle/ 
Support/bin/get_lists.rb

(Adjust accordingly to make this point to where your GTDAlt bundle  
lives. Then send me the output of that command, and we'll take it  
from there.
