I found the problem. It has to do with the code in the displayline  
script that Skim uses. The last line in that script should have been:

/usr/bin/osascript -e "tell application \"Skim\"" -e "activate" -e  
"open POSIX file \"${file}\" at TeX line ${line} from source POSIX  
file \"${source}\"" -e "end tell"

Note that the ${file}, ${source} etc are not surrounded by quotes any  
more.

Yes, probably ;)
