pstricks-add redefines a lot of the pstricks macros and uses the extended 
version of the keyval package. So be sure that you 
- pstricks-add depends on the pstricks.pro Version 1.05, 2008/06/25
  you can get it from http://perce.de/LaTeX/pstricks/ or CTAN
- load pstricks-add as last pstricks related package
- have installed xkeyval with the special pst-xkey
  (CTAN: tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval/)
- do not load another package after pstricks-add, which loads
  the old keyval.sty or pst-key.tex

to the pstricks mailing list and has some more new features:

- pstricks

   o new plot option bar and option barwidth
   o new options step, start end for plotting data files
   o new options xLabel, yLabel
   o new option plotNo for multiple data files x y1 y2 y3 ...
   o new macro psplotTangent
   o new macro psplotDiffEqn
   o new option algebraic for infix notation
   o new option changeOrder 

- pst-node
   o new macro nclineII for a two-colored line
