I reproduced your setup.  The problems is indeed that src/wsb is not 
actually used, or perhaps better said: the package there is not 
installed in the buildout.  This is because djangorecipe does not 
actually know that it needs to install the wsb package.  Maybe it 
should, as you do have the line 'projectegg = wsb'.

For me it works when I add 'eggs = ${buildout:eggs}' to the recipe, so 
like this:

[django]
recipe=djangorecipe
projectegg = wsb
eggs = ${buildout:eggs}
extra-paths = src/
settings = settings

(Or explicitly: eggs = wsb)

The difference in the resulting bin/django script is that these two 
extra lines are added to the path:

   '.../tmp/guru/src/wsb',
   '.../recaptcha_client-1.0.6-py2.6.egg',


I hope this helps,
