A companion "._" file is not a pure resource fork. It is an
AppleDouble-encoded file containing Finder metadata and an optional
resource fork.

"._" files should only exist on file-systems that lack native support for
resource-forks and metadata. I suspect the unindicted co-conspirator in
all this is the file-system format of your disk.
There might be a TextMate setting to disable writing metadata or
resource-forks.
