Post a minimal example of XML source that demonstrates the problem,
and the customisation layer you're using.  That's only a code fragment
above, and the problem could be anywhere.

I don't use FOP, so I can't be of much help here.  Note that
(apparently) FOP only supports EPS if PostScript is the output format
(which is not an enormous deficiency---XEP has the same limitation).

http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#eps

You would subsequently need to use something like ps2pdf to generate a
PDF.  It might be best to stick with PNG while you are debugging this.
