Howdy,

To see if it will compile using a single pdflatex run try simply using the Typeset->LaTeX (Shift-Cmd-L) menu item (I assume you have `Pdftex' checked rather than `TeX and DVI'). Changing the choice on the popup list won't work since the 

% !TEX TS-program = pdflatexmk 

line in the root file will override that choice.

Good Luck,
