The shell script CompileTeX-engine that Sneep's scripts call to do the real work make use of a number of osascript constructions, and it seems likely that one of those is the culprit. I can see how, in principle, how it might be happening (example below) but I can't see any errors in those osascript calls. (By the way, CFURLGetFSRef appears to be deprecated as of Mavericks.)

For future reference, I found that no "CFURLGetFSRef" message appears when using Maarten Sneep's scripts if

          previewUpdate "${masterdocname%%.tex}.pdf"

is changed to

          previewUpdate "${masterdoc%%.tex}.pdf"

As far as I can see, "masterdoc" is the full path name of "masterdocname", so Michael observation was to the point.

I guess the original script worked anyway since there is a "pushd" of "$masterdocdir" before compiling and viewing.
