Suppose you did "sgmltools -b pdf <some-docbook-sgml-source>".

 sgmltools just uses pdfjadetex, and it uses pdftex to produce
the PDF output. Unfortunately, pdftex can handle graphics only
in .png, .jpg, .mps and .pdf according to the description in 
 /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/pdftex.def on potato system.

So you can't use eps, ps, nor gif files in your pdftex source.

I think the advice from Kenneth Geisshirt <kenneth@geisshirt.dk>
is useful information for you to switch the graphics format in
your source.  Remember you need graphics in all formats which will
be used by tex/pdftex in conversion.

Regards.
