TextMate opens a local copy that Transmit creates, and, it seems that when I save in TextMate, TextMate sends the metadata, and Transmit respects that and saves it to the server. But since I've changed the permissions in the interim, my changes on the server (outside TextMate and Transmit) are being lost as a result.
