Dave,

I have had no problems by putting the dll path on sys.path. Perhaps
Python is giving you a bad pathDir (maybe leaving out the drive?):

 pathDir = os.path.dirname(FULLPATH)
 sys.path.append(pathDir)

Here is an example where Graphics.dll is in /home/dblank/Calico/modules:

linux$ mono bin/ipy.exe
IronPython 3.0 (3.0.0.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.1433
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import clr
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append("/home/dblank/Calico/modules")
>>> clr.AddReference("Graphics.dll")
>>> import Graphics

Hope that helps,

-Doug
