There is a bug in beta3f. Line 168 of MEInc.Dist.resource.py 
reads:
 if string.find(name, '.') == -1:
It should read:
 if string.find(name, '.') != -1:
  
I don't know if that will fix your problem. If the __init__.py file is 
playing with __path__, you may have some more tweaking to 
do. (Basically, you'll have to figure out how those 
manipulations of __path__ are extending the search path, and 
then put those extensions into the pathprefix option in your 
config file.)
