Okay, got the problem. It seems that it is due to incorrect version of xpdf. I used 3.01, which has the option -pagecrop but which is not present in 3.00 which you have. Thus, the pdftops program printed a help message and did not create a postscript file, and ghostscript died with "Error: /undefinedfilename in (page.eps)". So you have two options:
  • Upgrade to 3.01, which will be a problem as I don't see a binary anywhere;
  • Use the file I have attached which does not use that option.

Note that I am unsure that I will make this fix in the new release, as I do not know what the effect will be if I leave out this option (it treats the CropBox as the page size, removing unnecessary whitespace and/or typesetting). In general, I would recommend updating to a manually-compiled 3.01.

Please let me know if it works, and document the steps you took to achieve it so everyone else who uses OS X can also benefit from it :-)
