Maybe this is the reason: You are specifying an impossible bounding
box here.
Georg
SH: That seems plausible since the error message he reported is
caused by an improper bounding box, or an incorrect filename.

Margins, cropping, and bounding boxes
"Every PostScript file included in a LATEX document must have
a defined bounding box. Normally, the bounding box is defined
using a structured comment at the beginning of the PostScript
file. For example, the PostScript source for the figures shown
above begins like this:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 90 252 540 684
In some cases, you may need to redefine the bounding box,
either to adjust the amount of white space surrounding the
figure or to crop your figure by selecting a clipping region.
You may do so either by editing the PostScript file or in
the LATEX source file. Any bounding box definitions in the
LATEX source override those in the PostScript file. For
details, see section 11.3, "Merging Text and PostScript
Graphics", in The LATEX Companion, pp. 317-320.
An easy way to determine the correct bounding box is to
view your figure using ghostview. Move the mouse pointer to
the lower left corner of the figure and note the coordinates
(displayed by ghostview immediately above the File button);
these are the first two numbers in the BoundingBox line.
Now move the mouse pointer to the upper right corner of the
figure; the coordinates displayed are the last two numbers
in the BoundingBox line.
(This plot does not "float" within the text, since it was
not put into a figure environment; rather, it appears in the
same place in the output as in the LATEX source file.) Note
that the "=" is required in the clip= option, although no
value follows the "=". Also note that the clip= option is
ignored by pdfLATEX (see this figure in the PDF version of
this book)."
