This problem appeared at some point and, at least for a while, the quick fix
has been to use a modified version of some file (I seem to remember this had
something to do with pstricks). The workaround appeared on the web (and you
might find it with a little googling).
I would suggest that, if possible, you try it with a newer version of texlive.
This problem does not seem to exist with texlive 2010 or 2011. If it still does
not work, then look to see if some older versions of powerdot, or pstricks,
remain in your local tree (therefore overriding the newer versions when you
typeset).
