Tom, you were absolutely right, my lang file was corrupted (only 33K from a total of about 21M). I downloaded the file again (from https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tessdata) and checked it was the right size... voila!!! Now the lang is being detected by tesseract as expected.
Thank you very much for your tips and help! Shree: Thanks for your answer, as you can see above the problem was with the lang file and not with the location.
