You should have a line 'sources = sources' in the [buildout] section, 
otherwise the [sources] section is not used (unless that is the default, 
but explicit may be better than implicit here).  When you run buildout 
do you actually get a 'src/<project name>' directory?

It looks to me like src/wsb is not actually used.  You tell buildout 
that it can find a development package in src/wsb if it wants to, but I 
do not see a section that actually wants to use a package with that name.

Or is 'wsb' the same as 'project name'?

Is 'projectegg' the correct spelling in djangorecipe?  I see this in a 
buildout config I have here:

[django]
recipe = djangorecipe
version = 1.2.4
settings = production
eggs =
     ${buildout:eggs}
project = projectname
wsgi = true

This is with djangorecipe 0.20.  A colleague made this buildout so I 
don't know details about this recipe.

Just some thoughts.
