Howdy,

What version of auto-pst-pdf are you using? The run option wasn't in  
earlier versions. (Just throwing straws in the wind.) When I run this  
under either MacTeX-2008 (auto-pst-pdf 0.6) or MacTeX-2009-pretest it  
runs through. But there is a warning message on the console within the  
auto-pst-pdf runs:

l.10 	\begin{pspicture}
                        (10,10)
! Undefined control sequence.
l.11 	\psline
              [linewidth=2pt](0,0)(10,10)(0,10)(10,0)

so it's clear that you are not using some packages that are needed  
(like pstricks?). Oh... the document seems to come out correctly.  
Finally, what is the complete console output? Is there a difference if  
you just use a single run (i.e., pdflatex rather than pdflatexmk)? By  
the way, is there a reason you're using the runs=2 option; it is meant  
to tell auto-pst-pdf that there must be multiple INTERNAL runs since  
there are cross-references in your figures?

Good Luck,
