To enable bash competion in maverick:

open a terminal and type
sudo gedit /etc/bash.bashrc

find the lines
#if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
# . /etc/bash_completion
#fi

uncomment them by removing the # character (the will look this way)
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
fi

save the file, close gedit, close the terminal.

open th terminal again and bash completion should be work correctly
