Unfortunately, my previous message was wrong. What happens is that
TextMate's "Typeset & View PDF" correctly runs the first command of my
script (etex "$FILE") and generates the dvi file, but does NOT go on running
the next commands. So if there is already an old pdf file it shows it
(that's what confused me), but otherwise fails. What did am I missing here?

Cheers,

Artemio
