Thanks again! That does it.

However, it seems strange that the \externalfigure command does not accept a space in front of the file name nor after the file extension, while \input is very tolerant in that respect. Compare

\input knuth.tex
\input knuth.tex
\input{knuth.tex}

Spaces after a control sequence are gobbled and multiple spaces are skipped.

Braces around the filename are allowed because this function was added with the extensions to the TeX binary (which means it doesn’t work with Knuths original TeX), try this \input{ knuth.tex} to load a file with a space in the name.
