Try renaming your .dll to .pyd? See this section in the "What's New in 
Python 2.5" documentation:
http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/ports.html#SECTION0001510000000000000000

"Windows: .dll is no longer supported as a filename extension for 
extension modules. .pyd is now the only filename extension that will be 
searched for."
