Ahh, I've had similar issues with RSpec's bundle before.  Basically, 
your PATH is not being used for all of your OSX applications. From the 
rspec site[1]:
 
You may need to adjust the PATH in your ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file 
to point to the directory
where your ruby and spec executables live. For example:

<key>PATH</key>
<string>/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin</string>



I will also add a TM_CUCUMBER_BIN constant option so if that is set it 
will use that instead of assuming 'cucumber' is in your path.  I'll let 
you know when that is done.
