Dave,

I am not a IM/PHP expert, but have you tried the convert equivalent. 
see http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/layers/#convert


Also have you checked the permissions of the directory where you are 
putting the images.

Also you many have to provide the full path to where IM is located, 
often either

/usr/local/bin

or

/user/bin/

Then add composite or convert right after that with no spaces.

With such old versions of IM there could easily be version issues.
