this command won't work with the graphicx pkg I don't think...

have you tried using the command
\DeclareGraphicsExtensions{tiff,eps}  or  in your case, {tif,eps}

 ???
and for file locations of your graphics,  you can use

\graphicpath{ {./eps} {./tiff} }
  note      ^                  ^  extra braces  ;-)
