What do the first few lines of the .eps file look like? There should be
a few lines at the top that start with %, indicating what sort of
PostScript file it is.
A minimal set looks something like this:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 ESPF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 72 72
Based on the observed behavior it sounds like it's something else, which
is presumably due to a bug in grace.
The actual rules for what the headers can look like are complicated,
so it's probably best to just paste them verbatim.
