Make sure to restart the computer since that point.

Sounds like it has trouble parsing the bib-file. Can you send me the  
offending bib file, and also try with a smaller/simpler bib file?

Hm, this is interesting. Seems to indicate some problem with your  
shell. The command that fails here is one trying to run "ls" from the  
command line. Try to type "ls" without the quotes in a line in a TM  
document, and press Ctrl-R to have it execute in shell. Do you get  
the same error? What if you type "`ls`", i.e. ls surrounded by  
backticks, and run the "Execute Line As Ruby" command from the ruby  
bundle?
What if you run ls from the terminal?

PS: Should that command not be in the source/textmate bundle instead?  
A lot of people have the ruby bundle disabled since they don't use  
ruby, but we still need that command for diagnostic purposes every  
now and then.
