Why do you need psmerge?  In practice, psmerge works pretty poorly and
only works on very special postscript.  It's better to do merging
earlier; either with the OO or with the PDF.  'pdftk' will merge the
PDF files.

I've never encountered trouble with psnup, OTOH.

Also, have you tried producing the PS directly from OO?
