thanks for sharing this. It is working fine here. I am curious: why don´t you just do something like the following

--Applescript
set frontName to do shell script "basename " & #TEXPATH#
tell document frontName of application "TeXShop"
	refreshpdf
end tell

I have never done any scripting on TeXShop, so I guess thee are some pitfalls your script avoids, which the short version does not?

Best,
