I have successfully used basically that exact same command line, only
I used -sDEVICE=jpeg instead of png16m. Not sure if that would make a
difference or not.

I presume this is for arxiv.org, in which case you may want to check out
the automated arxiv submission preparation script I wrote a while ago:
http://astro.berkeley.edu/~mperrin/submit_prepare.pl
It takes a LaTeX file and automatically compresses all the EPS files
included from that LaTeX file, then tars up the whole bunch for
easy upload. But then again, if the above command line isn't working
for you, I don't know why my script would be more successful, since
that's what it does internally.
