But for someone else who also might want to change the pdf viewer I add: it it not sufficient to give in the path to the application package but to the application EXECutable itself, at least on Mac-OSX, in my case:/Applications/Skim.app/Contents/MacOS/Skim
What should also do the trick is "open -a Skim", that lets OS X do the work of finding the app.
What I actually use is the attached script that explicitly tells Skim to reload. I've disabled auto-reload in Skim, since this sometimes does not work in combination with LyX's multiple compilation of the file.
So I have the attached script in ~/bin, set the script as executable (chmod u+x ...), in LyX "~/bin/SkimReload.sh", and then always use View PDF (not: Update PDF) in LyX
