This is something I haven't seen before.  

What platform are you on: windows, linux, os x?

I recommend the following

  * make sure your hard drive isn't full 

  * open up a shell and change into a directory you have write
    permission to and make sure you can write a file to that dir

  * create the following test script

from matplotlib.matlab import *
plot([1,2,3])
savefig('testfig')

  * run this from the shell with

python testscript.py -dAgg

  * see if the file testfig.png is created

  * if so, figure out what is different about what you are doing and
    what the test script is doing

  * if not, did you get any error messages to the screen?
