I don't use Mathematica but I had the same problem with eps
files from Harvard Graphics.  I found out that WP expects
only plain eps ascii text files that begins with %!
while some applications have additional codes before
the %!  (WP does that to convert to wpg) so just use 
your favourite editor and removed everything before the
%! before converting and it should work fine.

Hope this helps.
