What;s the pdftex doing in there?

That's what it's supposed to be.

Start from the template in the docs.  Does the command in the docs
work with the template in the docs?  It definitely worked for me
at one point in time.

If the docs-way of doing it works, then figure out what's
different in your example.  If the docs-way doesn't work, then let
us know.
