George, 

I'm not sure what you're doing here, but it doesn't look right at all on my screen.  I opened up the graphics in your most recent pdf "test2" and they are 150-187 dpi sRGB images.  I think your problem is with your (uncalibrated) monitor.  I have a calibrated monitor, and to me the pictures have a horrible magenta and yellow cast to them, which I imagine is what you're seeing on the press. 

 I've uploaded a split version of one of your graphics so you can see what I mean:

The left half isn't perfectly color-corrected, but it should give you a good idea.  Remember also that even minor color casts like this will often be exaggerated in CMYK. 

I would recommend checking out http://www.colorcal.com <http://www.colorcal.com> - they make reasonably priced color calibration tools that I've personally been very pleased with.  Your PDF Export settings do appear to be correct, though.  

Thanks, 

Ian
