Howdy,

This is very strange. What version of TeXShop are you using? When you say `first time' do you mean first time ever (i.e., you are a new user of TeXShop) or does this happen with any file using the pdflatexmk engine the first time you typeset? What is the console output when pdflatexmk is actually used?

Good Luck,
