Whenever you see "bibtex: command not found" then you have started a new terminal window, and you don't have /usr/texbin in your PATH.
You will have to run the "export PATH=/usr/texbin:$PATH" command anew, or else add it to your ~/.bash_profile if you want it to be there every time you open a terminal.
You can add the "export" line right under the "#!" line in the .Command file and it will take care of this problem for now.
