I suppose a problem with xkeyval --> Hendri, please have a look!
which is used by pstricks-add. But I don't know really
why it causes a problem with an undefines dimen.

This should work

\documentclass[notes]{beamer}
\usepackage{pstricks,pst-all,pstricks-add}
\makeatletter
\newdimen\beamer at colbox@colseps
\beamer at colbox@colseps=0pt
\makeatother
[ ... ]


btw: \usepackage{pst-all,pstricks-add} is enough, but _not_ using
pst-all is better for bug fixing.
