What did you do to get these .xbb and .bb files created? I'm not  
getting them (I just checked with your example), never has been.

With TeXLive 2008 I'm not specifying driver options explicitly any  
longer (same with file extensions for included graphics), and that's  
how I get the best results : Jonathan's excellent config files  
(included in TeXLive 2008), and their organization in appropriate  
directories, are clever enough that the relevant option is selected  
automatically based on the binary used for typesetting (pdflatex,  
xelatex, latex, ...).
