Howdy,
With newer TeX distributions, e.g., TeX Live 2008 or 2009, you should be use something like
simpdftex latex --maxpfb --extratexopts "-synctex=1 -shell-escape -file-line-error"
or
simpdftex latex --maxpfb --extratexopts "-synctex=1 -file-line-error"
if you don't want to enable sell-escape. The `synctex=1' option tells pdftex (newer versions of latex actually use pdftex in dvi mode) to create a synctex.gz file that TeXshop will use for source<->pdf synchronization. The `-file-line-error' option produces extra information on the console and in the log file that gives TeXShop information about which included file has a given compile error.
Good Luck,
