These messages are consistent with dvips being unable to open the file, 
either because the file does not exist, or because there are not enough 
file handles.  Since you say the files do exist, try setting FILES=20 
or larger in config.sys.
If dvips successfully opens a font library, it will tell you how many 
fonts it contains.
The (rb) is the mode dvips used to open the file - in this case
"read binary".  This is correct.
