The problem is that on windows, the TEMP environment variable is

\includegraphics is not able to deal with filenames that have spaces
or tildes (this has been declared a feature, not a bug).
I don't have a Windows system to test on, but on a Mac the following trick
seems to deal with the tildes:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\catcode`\~11
\graphicspath{{/tmp/foo~bar/}}
\catcode`\~13
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{stuff.pdf}
\end{document}
If I put stuff.pdf in /tmp/foo~bar, pdflatex (from TeX Live) finds it
just fine. Handling spaces seem to be a more difficult problem...

Thanks Jouni, that was a creative suggestion. Unfortunately it doesn't work on
my windows laptop because dvips doesnt find the embedded file unless I either
run dvips in the directory containing the file to embed or I pass an absolute
path to includegraphics. I tried wrapping the \includegraphics statement with
the catcode shifts you suggested, but it didnt work.

Ok, usetex is going to do postscript processing in the user's current
directory, but only on windows. On other platforms, the work is done in a
temp directory. I've tested my changes on linux and windows, and committed
them to svn as of 2528. Feedback appreciated.
