In another thread you said <http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2007-

I wonder whether your particular setup (i.e. generating output files  
in the same directory as the xetex binaries, instead of the same  
directory as your input file) isn't causing a permission problem:  
some auxiliary files which should be created in the output directory  
as part of the operation of pstricks and xdvipdfmx can't, because the  
program willing to write to that directory hasn't the permission to  
do so.
