Just by chance (have been there before :-( )... Are you starting by
double clicking on the image or on the app (and then choose the image).
I got bitten by something similar where Pharo didn't pick up the
library. Took me some tracing to find out that Mac OS X was using
another VM to start the image than the one I was adding the library to :-)

After starting the image ry something like

$ ps aux | grep Pharo

to verify which VM gets picked. If this doesn't help lsof and
Instruments are your friends :-)


CU,
