Christopher,
I can;t answer your question but there is a difference between the time 
module and the string module as shown here

[bpse at m-franklin bpse]$ jython
Jython 2.0 on java1.3.0 (JIT: null)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 
>>> import string
>>> string.__file__
'/usr/python/Jython/Lib/string.py'
>>> import time
>>> time.__file__
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: class 'org.python.modules.time' has no attribute '__file__'
>>> 
>>> time
<jclass org.python.modules.time at 3891803>
>>> string
<module string at 305666>
>>> 


time loks like it's a builtin module and string is a Library module. So I 
would think there is somthing wrong with the sys.path 

Can you do the above at the jython command line?

Cheers
