Most likely you are adding a directory to the path that has a directory named matplotlib in it (eg the matplotlib src directory) which is not the matplotlib install directory. Try doing >>> import matplotlib >>> print matplotlib.__file__ when the PYTHONPATH is set to the troublesome value and then do an ls on the directory that is reported by the __file__ printout. Post the listing here and we can advise further.
