Did you rebuild the filename database?

With a little help of my so famous crystal ball, these lines seems weird 
to me:
----------------
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/xcolor/xcolor.sty
Package: xcolor 2004/07/04 v2.00 LaTeX color extensions (UK)

(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/graphics/color.cfg
File: color.cfg 2004/07/07 v1.2 color configuration of teTeX/TeXLive
)
Package xcolor Info: Package option `override' ignored on input line 128.
Package xcolor Info: Driver file: pdftex.def on input line 136.
----------------

First your version is quite old: the last one is from 2005/06/06 
according to 
ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/README 
and this package keeps evolving during this year, in parallel with 
pstricks (and xkeyval). Secondly, in those lines, xcolor tries to load 
'pdftex.def' even if you compile with LaTeX.

If I were you, I will also update pstricks and xkeyval at the same time 
actually: if it is not the cause of the problem, it won't hurt...
