There's no .IFO (or .BUP) file, so xine can't play it. I suppose I could 
check to make sure the VOB files themselves contain valid content, but I 
wouldn't know what to do next even if they did.

If I try running dvdauthor manually with the dvdauthor.xml file it hangs 
as well, at essentially the same place as the script:

Is the final.mpg file supposed to be 0 bytes?
