Nothing: simpdftex simulates pdfTeX with latex, dvips, and  
Ghostscript. It also simulates the kind of output file. Could you try  
to invoke 'simpdftex --help' to see whether it shows some options to  
keep the DVI file? Maybe there are other options to make the process  
of creating PDF more transparent – or verbose. With these options you  
could try to debug the failure in – TeXShop? You did not mention any  
GUI ...

(I can't help more, trying to fix an HFS+ error. I hope it'll be OK  
on Christmas!)
