Why do you run Xvfb directly instead of using the xvfb-run utility ?
So you wouldn't have to search for an existing display and/or create a
new one, this would be transparent.

Also you may want to switch to 'abiword' when OpenOffice is not
installed, with a command line like (example for MS stuff, worked last
time I checked) :

xvfb-run -a \
         abiword --import-extension=.doc \
                 --print=outputfile.ps \
                 inputfile.doc

the '--import-extension' switch is necessary if the input file has no
extension.
