You should add a line something like this:

DVIFILE=${TM_LATEX_MASTER:-$TM_FILEPATH}

Then use ${DVIFILE%.tex}.dvi  on the /path/dvisync......  command

That will depend on how and where you are setting TM_LATEX_MASTER.   
This variable is around only for backward compatibility with previous  
versions of the latex bundle.   The preferred method for setting the  
master file is to put

%!TEX root = /path/to/root  in your tex file.    BUT  that will not  
help you in your situation.  I thought you said you were working with  
one giant file.
