You should see a terminal open up, and you should see two bibtex runs (at least).
If you don't see anything in the terminal, then you need to change permissions to read/write/execute for owner at the least.

If you want to know what's in the .Command file, open it with TextEdit or type "less " in a terminal window and drag the file to the window so that it autocompletes the path.
If you have previews enabled in the Finder, then you should see the complete text of this small snippet at the very least.
