  Are you sure these are being set right? In python, do:

import sys
sys.path

and check. I've not read the docs for PYTHONPATH on windows, but I cant 
quite explain why:

C:\Documents and Settings\rowlings>set PYTHONPATH="c:\foo"

and then

C:\Documents and Settings\rowlings>c:\Python25\python
Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win 32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import sys
 >>> sys.path
['', 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\rowlings\\"c:\\foo"', ....

  What the? Its appended what I wanted to my windows' 'home' 
directory... I dont understand...

  You can modify sys.path from within python if Windows refuses to play 
sensibly :)
