Could you do a

$ ls -la /usr/sbin/TeXmacs/bin/texmacs.bin

and compare it with my result:

-rwxr-x---+   1 seidl    Benutzer  3103744 Jun  2 09:41 
/usr/sbin/TeXmacs/bin/texmacs.bin

Did you install TeXmacs under a different account?

Looking at the texmacs start up script it seems that the only way 
texmacs.bin cannot be found is when both the variables TEXMACS_PATH and 
TEXMACS_BIN_PATH have a value:

if [ -z "$TEXMACS_PATH" ] ; then
  TEXMACS_PATH=/usr/share/TeXmacs
  export TEXMACS_PATH
  if [ -z "$TEXMACS_BIN_PATH" ] ; then
    TEXMACS_BIN_PATH=/usr/sbin/TeXmacs
    export TEXMACS_BIN_PATH
  fi
else
  TEXMACS_BIN_PATH="$TEXMACS_PATH"
  export TEXMACS_BIN_PATH
fi

PATH="$TEXMACS_BIN_PATH/bin:$PATH"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$TEXMACS_BIN_PATH/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH+":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"}"
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH


I cc your mail to the texmacs list, maybe somebody else has an 
explanation. Please direct your replies there too.

Ciao,
Andreas
