Probably you processed it with  pdftex
rather than  latex+dvips+Ghostscript .

have a look at the .log file.
If it has lots of lines like:

Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!
Non-PDF special ignored!

then this is indeed the problem.

You TeX installation should give you ways to process
using different engines.
To use Xy-pic's PostScript back-end, you must choose
the route via  dvips + ps2pdf (i.e., Ghostscript).
