The code you posted does not parse. There is a lissing closing quote
in the ylab argument.

dev.off()
works fine! It seems that the problem is with the pars=list(.
Just to make it more clear. The dev.off() returns 1 and the file is
created. The problem is that this file can not be open with any
program, while all the other .eps files I have and were created by
R, with the above methodology work really nice.

Not sure what output you get in the first case. You don't need:
ps.options=setEPS()
just:
setEPS()
Using:
set.seed(1)
test <- matrix(runif(500*500), 500)
setEPS()
postscript(file = "exponcoverapprox.eps")
boxplot(test[30, 1:500], test[90, 1:500], test[150, 1:500],
test[210, 1:500],
test[270, 1:500], test[330, 1:500], test[390, 1:500],
names = c("1", "3", "5", "8", "10", "13", "1"), outline =
FALSE,
ylim=c(0.01, 50), log = "y", xlab = "xvalue", ylab = "yvalue",
boxwex=0.5, pars = list(whisklwd = 0, staplelwd = 0))
dev.off()
I get the attached output which seems to be OK.

To not bother you with the details, the only difference is the pars
=list(whisklwd=0,staplelwd=0) at the end of the boxplot , which I
use to remove the whiskers fromt he blot.

dev.off()
This creates a 6kb eps file, that can not be opened by any
program. I tired with photoshop gimp, acrobat reader. This is the
normal process I follow to save my plots.
dev.off always returns 1.
and the boxplot function succesfullu does the plot in the screen.
What might be the problem?
I would like to thank you in advance for your help

You did not create an EPS file. See ?postscript and pay attention
to the fourth paragraph under Details:
The postscript produced for a single R plot is EPS (Encapsulated
PostScript) compatible, and can be included into other documents,
e.g., into LaTeX, using \includegraphics{<filename>}. For use in
this way you will probably want to use setEPS() to set the defaults
as horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = "special". Note
that the bounding box is for the device region: if you find the
white space around the plot region excessive, reduce the margins of
the figure region viapar(mar=).
HTH,
