The error message appears to be from osascript. The shell script CompileTeX-engine that Sneep's scripts call to do the real work make use of a number of osascript constructions, and it seems likely that one of those is the culprit. I can see how, in principle, how it might be happening (example below) but I can't see any errors in those osascript calls. (By the way, CFURLGetFSRef appears to be deprecated as of Mavericks.)

Example. I have an existing file named autoinst.log. I cd to its directory and type

osascript -e 'POSIX file "autoinst.log" as alias'

getting output

2015-12-12 16:28:45.307 osascript[65080:1326705] CFURLGetFSRef was passed an URL which has no scheme (the URL will not work with other CFURL routines)
alias Macintosh HD:Users:msharpe:fontstorage:MinionMyriad2015:Myriad:autoinst.log

The error message here is very similar to that from CompileTeX-engine, but an alias is indeed created.

On the other hand, if I use a full POSIX path and type

osascript -e 'POSIX file "/Users/msharpe/fontstorage/MinionMyriad2015/Myriad/autoinst.log" as alias'

no error message is produced and the output is simply

alias Macintosh HD:Users:msharpe:fontstorage:MinionMyriad2015:Myriad:autoinst.log
