Howdy,

Try using the latexmk engines packaged for TeXShop. It will  
automatically take care of nomencl as well as other packages for  
glossaries, indexes and bibliographies as well as re-run (xe/pdf)latex  
to resolve cross references.

Get the latest version as Latexmk401TeXshop218.zip from <http://homepage.mac.com/herbs2 
 >. It comes with installation and usage instructions.

Good Luck,
