I'm attaching one.  You need to supply your own 'eps' file.  Also you  
need to ignore the blather that's used in the text, and don't  
attribute it to a psychotic break... :-}

I set TeXShop to 'Pdftex', fire away, and get the "restricted mode"  
error right away.

I get what you get (if the path below is what you get).

Zilch.  I have no such file.

% Public domain.
\ProvidesFile{epstopdf-sys.cfg}%
   [2010/06/06 v1.2 Configuration of (r)epstopdf for TeX Live]%
\epstopdfsetup{%
   program at epstopdf=repstopdf% only the restricted epstopdf is allowed
}
\endinput
