Does your ls-R file mention these files?  If not, Kpathsea won't find
them, because when a texmf tree has an ls-R file, the filesystem is
never searched.  If ls-R does NOT have those files, running mktexlsr
would solve the problem.

It should, if you tell it to look for DviPS config files, like this:

  kpsewhich --format="dvips config" config.ps

If this doesn't work, run it again after you set KPSE_DEBUG=-1, then
look at the output (redirecting it to a file is a good idea, since it
is very voluminous).
