I can't check this, but I guess that in the situation you're in the tex process 
actually replaces the file rather than writing to the existing file. That would 
lead to the behavior you describe. There's nothing you can do to change Skim's 
update behavior, because it simply loses track of the file when the file is 
replaced. 

The best way to force a reload is to use a different script to run the tex 
process that also explicitly updates Skim, as described on the Wiki, rather 
than relying on Skim's auto-reload. That's generally much more reliable anyway. 
This is for instance how TextMate does it.
