Ummm ... get ready for one of those "DOH!" moments we all have. :o)

Unless it's a typo in your message, your script above does actually
pause twice, so that's why you need to click Continue twice:

Enter Preview Mode [Pause]
Pause/Resume Script []

Either turn off the Pause option from the Enter Preview Mode command or
remove the entire Pause/Resume Script command - that'll fix the
problem.
