Aloha Toby,
Welcome to Org-mode.
Typically, for questions like yours, you will need to provide something
the Org-mode community calls an ECM, which is an acronym for a minimal
complete example. The example should fail to produce the results you
expect, which you should specify, and it should contain as little other
material as possible. In your case you might want to share the ECM
Org-mode file and the resulting .tex file.
Out of the box, Org-mode uses pdflatex to create pdf from LaTeX source
(although this can be modified). Pdflatex does not accept eps files for
graphic input, so this might have been part of your problem. It does
accept png files, though, so it appears something else might be going
on.
You might also check your Org-mode version. I don't keep up with the
various Linux distributions but I understand that some of them ship old
versions of Org-mode. The current version is 7.7 and you'll want to use
something fairly close to that.
hth,
Tom
