I have libraries in two separate directories, on different drives (representing the those supplied with kicad and my own). I had no difficulties doing this. I used "Preferences...Libs and Dir" from the menu, then clicked "Add" to add the library, and "Save Cfg" to save the new configuration. Does that not work for you?
