Is there the file auto/preamble.el?  Did you open document.tex after
the file auto/preamble.el was created?  Try issuing C-c C-n in
preamble.tex and then in document.tex.

Note that your `TeX-master' is wrong.  It refers to the main file, the
file you actually compile, which is document.tex.  In document.tex you
should set to "t" (without quotes), and in preamble.tex to "document"
(with quotes here).  This shouldn't be the root of your problem,
though.

Bye,
