First, even if you wouldn't have these problems, you really should be 
using full paths to files. So, please, /usr/bin/rsvg-convert 
/tmp/whatever/newmap.svg

Second, try "strace -e file -f rsvg newmap.svg 2>&1" and if you don't 
see anything useful, the same without "-e file". You should see what 
exactly fails in the last lines.
