I have narrowed down my problem to the fillcolor parameter. The 
statements below should give me a filled circle but instead gives me a 
white fill and a circle of the correct color:
---
 \definecolor{dummy} {cmyk}{1,0.4,0.3,0.2}
\pscircle[linecolor=dummy,fillcolor=dummy]{1.5} 

So I solved the problem thus:

 \definecolor{dummy} {cmyk}{1,0.4,0.3,0.2}
\pscircle*[linecolor=dummy]{1.5} 

For some reason the fillcolor parameter has no effect. Wierd!
