Thanks Alessandro. The problem was in fishdb.egg-info/top_level.txt as it relates to my directory structure. top_level.txt contained a list of my application modules, including websetup. But I was running paster from a directory one level up, named fishdb. Changing top_level.txt to simply read "fishdb" caused it to work. I must be doing something inconsistent in how I create the egg info vs how I run paster that I'll have to track down. Anyway, you hit the nail on the head, thanks for your help.
