You have to set the fourth element in the list defining the new entry to
nil instead of t.  This is explained in the doc string of
`TeX-command-list'.  You can read it e.g. by typing `C-h v
TeX-command-list <RET>'.

After typing `C-c C-l' you should see the output buffer which may give
you some info about what went wrong.

Did you enable TeX PDF mode?  See
(info "(auctex)Processor Options") <-- Type `C-x C-e' here.
