Thanks, Herbert -- that did the trick! The switches appear to be 
case-sensitive, however (at least on my system), so I had to use:

ps2pdf -dAutoRotatePages=/None job.ps

I guess I'm not surprised that it has nothing to do with pstricks 
directly, but nonetheless I will add a note to the documentation of 
pst-bar with the next version.
