No, you used backslashes. But when you do get round to trying
forward slashes, don't double them.

Anyway, my previous post was overcomplicated. On the basis that your
EPS image wasn't read correctly, I tried touching an empty file, and
found that I got exactly the same error message from stencil.scm:

$ ls -s /tmp/empty.eps 
0 /tmp/empty.eps
$ cat /tmp/ming.ly 
\markup {
  \general-align #Y #DOWN {
    \epsfile #X #20 #"/tmp/empty.eps"
  }
}
$ lily /tmp/ming.

So once you've managed to fix the filename, the error above should
just go away.

Cheers,
