I see a long discussion thread about your particular problem, so I
won't interfere there.  However, to see what libraries are searched
for footprints, you can run gsch2pcb in double verbose mode:

gsch2pcb -v -v project

It will print out a detailed itinery of what it is doing while
processing your board.  THis is very useful for debug purposes like
the one you have at hand.
