Stab in the dark, but the error makes it look like the PostScript interpreter is trying
to execute the command line as if it were PostScript code. Maybe autocad is piping
directly into a running ghostscript instance and you'll need to use some other 
interface in Autocad to change the way ghostscript is being invoked (assuming the
earlier guess is correct).
