Doris,

you are trying to combine two automatics! This is doomed to fail. And  
you are mixing things, obviously. Auto-pst-pdf uses *latex* and DVI  
output, the pst-pdf package is kind of a work-around in pdfTeX with  
PDF output format because PSTricks uses PostScript which PDF and  
*pdflatex* do not handle, but is native for dvips (and dvipdfm,  
dvipdfmx, xdvipdfmx can handle it as well via Ghostscript).

Can you try yourself to clean up your source? You could use something  
like this complicated skeleton (which also allows *xetex* as PSTricks  
compiler) that filters out paths any of the three TeX compilers must  
not go

	\usepackage{ifpdf,ifxetex}
	\ifpdf
	  \usepackage{pdftricks}
	  \begin{psinputs}
	    \usepackage{pstricks}
	    \usepackage{pstricks-add}
	  \end{psinputs}
	\else
	  \usepackage{pstricks-add}
	\fi
	\ifxetex
	  \usepackage{fontspec}
	\fi
	\listfiles
	\begin{document}
	  \ifpdf
	    \begin{pdfdisplay}
	      \psgrid[subgriddiv=0,griddots=10]
	      \psbrace[nodesepB=10pt](0,0.5)(\linewidth,0.5){\fbox{Text1}}% 
Text0}%
	      \psbrace[bracePos=0.25,nodesepB=10pt,rot=90](0,2)(\linewidth,2) 
{\fbox{Text2}}
	      \psbrace[ref=lC,nodesepA=-3.5cm,nodesepB=15pt,rot=90](0,4) 
(\linewidth,4){%
	        \fbox{some very, very long wonderful Text3}}
	    \end{pdfdisplay}
	  \else
	    \begin{pspicture}(\linewidth,5)
	      \psgrid[subgriddiv=0,griddots=10]
	      \psbrace[nodesepB=10pt](0,0.5)(\linewidth,0.5){\fbox{Text1}}% 
Text0}%
	      \psbrace[bracePos=0.25,nodesepB=10pt,rot=90](0,2)(\linewidth,2) 
{\fbox{Text2}}
	      \psbrace[ref=lC,nodesepA=-3.5cm,nodesepB=15pt,rot=90](0,4) 
(\linewidth,4){%
	        \fbox{some very, very long wonderful Text3}}
	    \end{pspicture}
	  \fi
	\end{document}

and add in the non-pdfTeX sections DVI related auto-pst-pdf code. And  
better don't use latexmk first. This and auto-pst-pdf automatically  
interfere.

HTH a bit...
