[pstricks] Problem with pstricks-add (psgraph) and pst-pdf

I have a problem that I cannot resolve when I use the psgraph together with pst-pdf,as shown in the minimal example below. The original data file is much longer, and created externally. I have truncated it and used the filecontents package for brevity. I am running WinXP/SP2 with MiKteX and WinEdt.
When \pst-pdf is "uncommented", I get the following error, when I compile using LaTeX
Runaway argument?
{0,40})({366,70})\pr at endbox {10cm}{5cm}\readdata {\datafile }{./data/\ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \psgraph at ii was complete.
<to be read again>
\par
If I comment the \pst-pdf line, and run LaTeX -> dvips -> pspdf, I get the output I expect and desire.
The reason that I wish to use \pst-pdf is that I am producing large lecture notes and slides (a la beamer) which also have many .jpegs
and .png included. I seem to be able to incorporate other pstricks related images, but suffer the failure when I try to use psgraph.
An additional question, if I may. I used to use the ps4pdf package instead of pst-pdf. It worked quite well, given that all the pstricks code had to be "bracketted" with PSforPDF{ ... }. Unfortunately it seems to have been removed, and near as I can tell superceded by \pst-pdf. Can anyone tell me what happened here?
