I'm having trouble invoking the eps backend in the first place.

2.9.16 under OS X Intel with this helper script to call lily.

%%% HELPER SCRIPT %%%

#! /bin/sh

export LILYPOND_DESTDIR=`pwd`
export 
GS_LIB="/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/ghostscript/8.50/lib"
date
python "/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lilycall.py"
"/Applications/LilyPond.app/" "--backend=eps" $1
echo 'debug'

%%% END HELPER SCRIPT %%%


Here's the test file.

%%% TEST FILE%%%

\version "2.9.16"

\new Staff {
  c'4
}

%%% END TEST FILE %%%



And here's the result of running the helper script against the test file.

%%% OUTPUT %%%

%%% END OUTPUT %%%


I'm missing something obvious since nobody else is having trouble
invoking the eps backend in the first place ... any clues? (I haven't
yet worked in the -dno-gs-font-load option because I'm wanting to get
the eps stuff working first ...)
