I am guessing something else ..

It lookslike your build scripts calls
	dvips "$dvifile" "$psfile"
but "$dvifile" is empty, so the call end up as
	dvips bckwrdexample.ps

So it seems that the latex run breaks. I build your test on my system
(texlive-full)and it build without problems. BUT: I had to copy the file
fig-1.mps into the cwd. I guess that the latex run problem comes from
the changed inclusion options of dvips.

Best wishes

Norbert
