Do you have an (old) example.pdfsync file in the same directory? In  
that case, Skim will pick up this file rather than the synctex file,  
and may fail because it's not valid anymore.

For me, with just synctex (see also below) this example works as  
expected. Are you sure you did not make a spelling mistake, or have  
shell escapes right (the command does not need any escapes or quotes,  
the arguments may need escapes or quotes.

You should use either PDFSync or SyncTeX, not both. You sort of use  
both in example.tex, though the PDFSync part does not work for me  
because you use the wrong casing for the file name.
