That's probably because C-c C-v asks Skim to open the dvi. You should
change the C-c C-v viewer command to call Skim with the PDF file
rather than the DVI file. Or perhaps it works by just making sure
you're in PDF mode, which you can do by adding (setq-default TeX-PDF-
mode t) to your .emacs. This is more about emacs than skim.
