Problems with metapost in texlive 2009

I had a working installation of texlive 2007 on my opensuse 11.0
machine. I had metapost
working nicely converting my *.mp files into *.pdf files. Yesterday, I
upgraded to texlive
2009 that is available at
http://software.opensuse.org/search/download?base=openSUSE%3A11.0&fil...<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://software.opensuse.org/search/download%3Fbase%3DopenSUSE%253A11.0%26file%3DPublishing%252FopenSUSE_11.0%252Fnoarch%252Ftexlive-2009-42.2.noarch.rpm%26query%3Dtexlive&usg=AFQjCNFYOop1cl-WcQify3O1T-zyK3GFeA>

I installed all the upgrades of the following packages:

texlive
texlive-bin-tools
texlive-bin-metapost
texlive-bin-latex
texlive-bin
texlive-tools
texlive-metapost
texlive-latex
texlive-context
texlive-latex-doc

To test my installation, I ran the command mptopdf on some mp files
that
I had successfully converted to pdf on the earlier installation. Here
is the
message I am seeing for one such file (blk.mp):

ram@linux-94ai:~/Desktop> mptopdf blk.mp
MTXrun | kpse fallback with progname 'context' initialized in 0.12
seconds

MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : running 'mpost --mem=mpost   --tex=latex  blk.mp'
This is MetaPost, version 1.208 (kpathsea version 5.0.0)
! I can't find file `blk.mp'.
<*> blk.mp

Please type another input file name:

You see, the file blk.mp is very much present in the directory (~/
Desktop).

Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,
Ram.
