Hmm, you can't open an .eps-file this way. You have to go via the
File->Import menu. AFAIK there is no way to import files on the
command-line. You can only export files that way, e.g. svg to eps:
$ inkscape filename.svg --export-eps=filename.eps --export-text-to-path
or to png:
$ inkscape filename.svg --export-png=filename.png -w600 -h400
You can also specify width and height this way.
Could you please try to import your eps via the menu and report the
result? 
Inkscape uses pstoedit for eps import, so that package has to be
installed on your system. pstoedit itself is somewhat limited concerning
import of bitmaps, but with an eps created by inkscape you should not
have any problems.

With best regards,

Wolfi
