Ben, this is happening because you're using a temporary directory to create
your LaTeX and DVI files. The PostScript stuff is no longer in the same
relative path.
The fix is to make MakeAbsPath() more intelligent.
The work around is to
1. Not use a temporary directory. Edit->Preferences->Inputs->Paths, or
2. Use absolute path names for these files.
