Stranger, when I typeset:

-----

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

\documentclass[10pt]{article}

\usepackage[xetex]{graphicx}

\title{The feeding of dogs}
\author{Nathan}

\begin{document}

\includegraphics{AMSseal}

\maketitle

\end{document}

------

(notice just 'AMSseal') I get virtually the same error message

still saying that  it is "Unable to load picture or PDF file 'AMSseal.pdf}'."

Hmmm... I feel that this is telling me something, but for the life of me I do not know what.

Puzzled.
