New output is below.

[One guess could be dvips return errorlevel 1 in the first case. That is why stat is wrong.
The other cases does not work because of the space in the file name and because there
is an option i.e. -v]

checking dvips version...
CMD: C:\Program Files\TeXLive\bin\win32\dvips.exe
STAT:1, MSG=This is dvips(k) 5.94a Copyright 2003 Radical Eye Software (www.radi
caleye.com)
Missing DVI file argument (or -f).
Try --help for more information.
CMD: C:\Program Files\TeXLive\bin\win32\dvips.exe --version
STAT:1, MSG='C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
CMD: C:\Program Files\TeXLive\bin\win32\dvips.exe -?
STAT:1, MSG='C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

CMD: C:\Program Files\TeXLive\bin\win32\dvips.exe -v
STAT:1, MSG='C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.5.94a
checking if dvips supports the combination of -E and -i -S 1... yes
checking for html4-check... no
checking for gswin32c... C:\local\gs\gs8.11\bin\gswin32c.exe
checking for ghostscript version... 8.11
checking for ghostscript portable bitmap device... pnmraw
checking for full color device for anti-aliasing... ppmraw
checking for ghostscript library and font paths... built-in paths are correct
checking for pnmcrop... C:\local\netpbm\bin\pnmcrop.exe

C:\local\netpbm\bin\pnmcrop.exe -verbose yes
