My command line call is xelatex bu.tex. The contents of my xelatex.engine file 
are:
#!/bin/tcsh

set path= ($path /usr/texbin /usr/local/bin)
env | sort -o ~/TeXShop_Environment
which xelatex >> ~/TeXShop_Environment
xelatex  -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -q -E" "$1"

I introduced the output-driver part after another problem with texshop where 
it would not want to compile a long file with a lot of pdfs as images. That 
being said, it does not influence the problem here. When I use the same 
command on the command line in macosx screen then I'm stuck with the exact 
same problem and the resultant log files differ only on the date and time.

Kind regards
