Here's the results of running htlatex on your file (called test.tex on my system):

Execute script `test.lg'

t4ht.c (2009-01-31-07:34 kpathsea)
t4ht -f/test.tex

Entering test.lg
Entering test.css
Entering test.tmp

So all went well. As noted above I've got a tex4ht.env in /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/tex4ht/base/unix/.

Good Luck,
