sencha mac working directory is not recognized

Question

I downloaded and installed Sencha Touch on my Mac (http://www.sencha.com/products/touch/download/sencha-touch-2.1/). Whenever I type sencha command in terminal I am getting the:

[WARN] The current working directory (/Users/jmc72) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatible mode.

I tried to run it from different directories and output is the same.

My PATH looks like:

/Applications/SenchaSDKTools:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:
/usr/local/bin:
/usr/bin:
/bin:
/usr/sbin:
/sbin:
/Applications/SenchaSDKTools:
/Users/jmc72/Sites/senchaSDK:
/usr/X11/bin

My .bash_profile:

export PATH=/Applications/SenchaSDKTools:$PATH

export PATH=/Users/jmc72/Sites/senchaSDK:$PATH

Sencha SDK (documentation ?) is located in /Users/jmc72/Sites/senchaSDK and SDKTools are located in /Applications/SenchaSDKTools

EDIT Following the suggestion I created the .senchsdk file but now I am getting the following error:

sencha

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^
Error: Cannot find module '/Users/sadmin/Downloads/sencha-touch-2.1.0-commercial/command/sencha.js'
    at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:332:11)
    at Function._load (module.js:279:25)
    at Array.0 (module.js:479:10)
    at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)

What am I doing wrong? Any help will be appreciated.

You need to move to the directory of the Sencha SDK which you downloaded:

cd /Users/jmc72/Sites/senchaSDK

And then run the sencha command.

Update

If you are in the SDK folder, the only other problem you could have would be the SDK Tools version. Uninstall the current version you have and remove it from your path, and then install the latest version from here.
