John,
This is a problem in V3.0.0.0. EPS with TIFF preview is supported but
you must refer to it as "EPS-TIFF" rather that "EPSTIFF". The
following should work:
Display["HPA_Plot2.eps", %, "EPS-TIFF"]
In V3.0.1.x, this problem is fixed.

PS. Herewith I defend Wolfram Technical Support's honor:
I looked up your problem in the support and student support email queues
and found a response sent on 3/11/98. Looking at the date on this
post, it may be that that reply did not get to you before you sent your
post to mathgroup.
However, the address you gave in your email was jhbrooks@@hiwaay.net,
which is different by one letter from the one you give in this message.
If that address was incorrect, that would explain why you have not
gotten the reply. I am cc'ing this to both addresses.
