It's probably the case that even though there is a processing error with
.eps files, in some circumstances, a PDF file *is* produced, but it's
just a skeleton and therefore does not properly render even the "good"
image. If the OP deletes the .eps lines, the .png one will probably
work.
I say "probably", because in one of my experiments, I was able to
duplicate the OP's results and get no images rendered - but try as I
might, I cannot do it again :-) The .png image was rendered properly in
all other experiments, and I don't know what I did in the "successful"
(unsuccessful?) one.
In any case, when bafflement strikes, it's probably a good idea to do
the export in two steps: export to LaTeX and then compile the .tex file
on the command line or with AucTeX to PDF. Any errors raised will be
readily apparent - in particular, the .eps error with pdflatex.

PS. BTW, width=5em makes for a rather small image.
