I solved it via adding Joe's home dir (/home/joe) to the pythonpath in root's acct. Why can't it import the system module even though it's in the same dir? A python prompt does work when I manually import the module.

Python adds the directory where the *file you are running* is to PYTHONPATH. So, in this case it'll add whatever directory twistd is in, *not* the current directory. To be nice, twistd, trial etc. add "." to the PYTHONPATH as well, so it behaves the way people want, but this is disabled when running as root for security reasons.
