Hi,
I'm not sure whether it matters, but your TeX distribution is very
old.  It's very hard to compare the log files:

It's probably wrong to typeset Vietnamese within a CJK environment.  I
can't run your example because you are using fonts I don't have
installed on my system.  Are you using the Bitstream Cyberbit fonts?
I get error messages like:

  kpathsea: Running mktexmf cyberb1e

You don't need them for Vietnamese, all fonts you need for typesetting
Vietnamese are provided by VnTeX.

For Vietnamese, yes.

You don't need the CJK package for Vietnamese. If you are using babel,
you can switch between languages using the command \selectlanguage.
But you shouldn't do this inside a CJK environment, but I must admit
that I don't know anything about CJK.

Maybe it's helpful to read the VnTeX documentation.  Please try:

  find /home/pushpanp/mytex -name vntex.pdf -exec acroread '{}' \;
