This indicates that your teTeX installation does not use the
standard texmf.cnf file that's included with teTeX 1.07.
I actually found an old installation of teTeX 0.9 on our system
where texmf.cnf contains the line 
TEXPSHEADERS = .;$TEXMF/{dvips,pdftex,fonts/type1}//
instead of 
TEXPSHEADERS = .;$TEXMF/{dvips,pdftex,tex,fonts/type1}//
I guess your installation could have the same problem.

However, on Carter's system, there seems to be some other
problem, since kpsewhich and kpsexpand indicate that it
should work. It might be that he has two parallel teTeX
installations, where kpsewhich and kpsexpand belong to
one of them and dvips, xdvi to the other one (a far-fetched
explanation, I agree). 

It seems that Werner made a too simple choice when he set up
the installation of the file, see
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/lilypond-devel/2002-October/001835.html
It is probably safer to install the file in the dvips/ directory.
Do you have time to make a patch, Rune?
