but it doesn't explain a "box" in the output, as kastelan reports.

does this box have the picture file name inside it?  if so, it's
because the graphics package is picking up a draft option from
somewhere.  load the package with option final (regardless of whether
there's draft on the document class):

  \usepackage[final]{graphicx}

and i would guess everything will be all right.
