This is correct. TeX does not see anything to be typesetted.
\pdfximage{...} does not set an image, it only says, that
this image ... will be later used.
  See the documentation of pdfTeX for details, how to
include an image. Or you can look at the code of pdftex.def,
the driver file for the graphics package. This package can
also be used with plain-TeX formats.
