* the command-line tools have been installed? See application menu.
* When installed the bbedit tool is located at /usr/bin/bbedit
  Check that this is in your $PATH, Google tells me that this is true by =
default.
* The tool at this location is actually a symbolic link into the =
application package.=20
  I don't think this is a permissions issue if you can run BBEdit =
itself.
* You are not running the Mac App Store version? This version does not =
have the=20
  command-line tools. In this case refer to =
http://www.barebones.com/store/macappstore.html=20
  for further causes of action.
* Installing the command-line tools from the non-macapp store version =
will require=20
  administrator permissions. I'm not sure how your system is locked down =
in you particular=20
  corporation. This can be fun sorting out, I hope you are on speaking =
terms with your=20
  administrator ;-)

If this is all OK, then contact support directly to get help in solving =
the issue.

Best,
