Does this happen with any document you are trying to typeset?
The offending line seems to be:
   user_path      = ENV['HOME'] + '/Library/Application Support/ 
TextMate/Themes/Webpreview/'

And the error leads me to believe that HOME is not defined for some  
reason in your system, at least not when this method is called. Not  
sure how that could be the case though.

Try to create a new TextMate command with the lines:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
p ENV['HOME']

And then run that command. What output do you get? I get: "/Users/haris"
