What happens if you open a new plain document in textmate, and type  
the following:

which pdflatex
which kpsewhich
echo $PATH


and then move to  each row and press ctrl-R? I get:

which pdflatex
/usr/texbin/pdflatex
which kpsewhich
/usr/texbin/kpsewhich
echo $PATH
/Users/haris/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/bin/ 
CocoaDialog.app/Contents/MacOS:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/ 
bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/Users/haris/Library/ 
Application Support/TextMate/Support/bin


If you get something different in the first two options, then what do  
you get from the same commands executed in the terminal? And also,  
how and from where did you install/update your latex installation?  
Did you use MacTeX?
