[OS X TeX] TexShop engines make me crazy

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a glossary to my thesis and I was thinking of using  
a personal engine to do the bibtex of the glossary (along the usual  
latex's and bibtex's) but I can't seem to make it work...

Here is my engine file:
#!/bin/tcsh

set path = ($path  /usr/local/bin  /usr/local/teTeX/bin/`uname -p`- 
apple-darwin-current /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/ 
graphics)

set fbName = `basename "$1" .tex`
set fbName2 = `basename "$1" .gls`

simpdftex latex --maxpfb ${fbName}

bibtex --shell-escape ${fbName}

bibtex --shell-escape ${fbName2}

simpdftex latex --maxpfb ${fbName}

simpdftex latex --maxpfb ${fbName}

Note that the last part of the path is there to try to fix the  
problem... In fact, it says (see belox) that texshop cannot find the  
pdftex.def to do the eps/pdf conversion whereas this works like a  
charm when I just typeset the basic "Latex" in TexShop... I know my  
teTex install is not perfect (things should be in texmf.local instead  
of texmf.tetex as I understood but I have no idea why it is like  
this). Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance

Matthieu
