First, thank you! This makes perfect sense. I will check to see if Transmit
might be causing this.

I wonder, though, when you say that TextMate preserves the original file's
metadata, if that isn't the cause. Here's why I wonder:

The sequence of events is this:

- SSH to server with a terminal window
- touch filename
- open filename with TextMate via Transmit
- edit file
- save file (but keep it open in TextMate)
- chmod u+x filename
- ./filename
- edit in TextMate
- Save from TextMate (and keep open)
----> 'x' permission is gone

If TextMate re-writes the file with the metadata from the time it was
originally opened, then that would cause the issue. If it writes the file
without changing the then-current metadata (which have changed since it was
opened) then the issue is likely Transmit.

What do you think?

Thank you so much for your help and advice on this!
