BuildPath() and os.path.join() should be the same.
Just shooting in the dark here, but try wrapping your value with
os.path.normpath() before importing the model.
Last but not least, the obvious... does the file truly exist? You can check
with:
if os.path.exists(mdlPath): lm("File exists!")
else: lm("Uh oh, file not found! :(")
