Howdy,

What version of latexmk are you using with TeXShop? TeXShop uses its own version of latexmk rather than the version in TeX Live and you probably haven't updated TeXShop is a long time since you virtually never use it.

I also took the source code given and compiled it with pdflatexmk (which automatically creates the fls file for its own use) and got the line

FILEPATH: /Users/herbs/Desktop/test.tex

in the Console output on my iMac using a fully updated TL2012 (using TLU). Note: the line doesn't appear at the bottom of the Console output!!!

Don't know what you're doing wrong here since I certainly don't have a problem with new engines showing up in TeXShop when I add them to ~/Library/TeXShop/Engines and restart TeXShop. Clearly, if the engine isn't showing up in the popup list in the Source and Preview toolbars TeXShop doesn't ``know'' about it.
