Maybe the acroread4 in your PATH is a script which does some work before
actually calling the executable -- it's important that all command line
parameters are preserved correctly.

Please try to call the executable directly, and if that doesn't work,
enable debugging in the acroread4 script ('set -x'). Maybe this will
make things clear.
