Hi,
this is a problem because of timemachine… those "copies" of Skim are
in your timemachine backup. I had a similar problem with BibDesk,
maybe the workaround from there could be implemented?
Greetings,

Yes, it's almost certainly Time Machine. Though I thought the system
was better in filtering out duplicates. Normally it should list only
one item for each app version it finds.
There is a problem with the version numbers used by Skim (and
Bibdesk), the system messes up with them. In Bibdesk this was fixed
already, in Skim this will happen in the next release. This won't
retroactively fix the version numbers in any old copies of Skim you
may have (e.g. in your time machine db).

For some reason, Skim is listed several times in my "Open With"
list of applications in the contextual menu when I right-click on a
PDF. I know that OS X does not update this list often, so it gets
messy, but I have tried deleting my com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
file to force it to "reset" and, while this did clean it up in
general, Skim is still listed in the "Open With" menu four times!!
Removing this plist does not reset the launch services. To reset the
LS database you need to run the lsregister tool, e.g. through typing
the following line in Terminal.app (this is for Leopard, the options
are slightly different on Tiger):
`locate lsregister` -kill -r -all local,system,user

I thought that this might have something to do with the way Skim
updates itself (maybe I have updated to newer versions 3 times
recently, I don't really remember); perhaps it gets added to the
list each time. This is just a guess, really...the best explanation
I could come up with on my own with my limited knowledge on the
subject.
Any help would be appreciated.
