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.

Matthew
