I took off the suspicious shell-command, and left in .emacs this:

(server-start)

+ the code for forward search.

It seems working, but I do not know the full capacity of PDFView. For 
ex.: When typesetting in emacs by modifying a location, which is not on 
the currently displayed pdf page, the update of the pdf happens, but 
PDFView doesn't jump to the corresponding pdf page. I do not know if this 
is implemented in PDFView or not. Indeed, PDFView takes me to the proper 
page of the pdf, if I issue C-c C-c to invoke explicitly the View 
command.

Before that, I'd tried substituting do-applescript for osascript:

- with the ampersand it didn't pdfview and/or pdfsync didn't work;
- without the ampersand, I get:

/bin/bash: line 1: do-applescript: command not found
