After seeing this message, I tried as well since I will have a need  
for this command soon. (For testing, I used the default index.html in  
`~/Sites/`.) I got similar errors. I have he Markdown bundle checked  
out to `/Library/Application Support`, so I removed that one and let  
the `/Applications/TextMate` version take over. There were still errors:
