Conversion using dvipdfm changes image sizes.

Hi all,

I have a problem converting a document to pdf. There are
several .jpg images included in the document in the form:

\begin{figure}[htp]
\centering
\subfigure[A pretty picture]{
\includegraphics[bb=0 0 150 100]{fig/myfig.jpg}
}
....
\end{figure}

The .dvi file looks just like it should, but when I try to convert to
pdf using dvipdfm, the images are slightly oversized in the resulting
pdf, partially hiding the subfigure captions ("A pretty picture" in
the example above). There are several .eps files in the document as
well, using the wrapfigure environment, and these are sized correctly.
When running dvipdfm from the commandline (usually run it from kile),
I get the following messages:

[1][2(./lw.eps<PS>)][3(../../figs/ship.jpg
Warning: Ignoring user specified bounding box for raster image.
)][4(./fig/img1.jpg
Warning: Ignoring user specified bounding box for raster image.

)(./zb/img5.jpg
Warning: Ignoring user specified bounding box for raster image.
)][6][7][8]
640765 bytes written

So basically, the included .jpg files all cause this "Ignoring
user..." warning to appear. Bizarre, because the scaling is just
changed, not entirely neglected (if "ship.jpg" were to be rendered at
full size, it would take up half the page, which is what happens when
using pdflatex). What am I doing wrong, and how do I convert this
bloody report correctly to pdf?
