What version of Illustrator are you using? Here's a script for CS2
that will save the current document as EPS:

// Save a document to the home folder of the current user
// as EPS with specific options
var newFile = new File("~/sample.eps");
var saveDoc;
if ( app.documents.length == 0 )
    saveDoc = app.documents.add();
else
    saveDoc = app.activeDocument;
var saveOpts = new EPSSaveOptions();
saveOpts.cmykPostScript = true;
saveOpts.compatibility = Compatibility.ILLUSTRATOR8;
saveOpts.embedAllFonts = true;
saveDoc.saveAs( newFile, saveOpts );
