That explains it.

The files were not in SLBPATH so presumably it looked in sysdir and
found them.

"Mystery" solved. I have no recollection of changing the slbpath
in mint.cnf but that is what caused my error. It would be useful
if apps could show what slb's had loaded or at least complain if
you try to use one that isn't loaded.

Sorry for the confusion. I'll go and stand in the corner for a while.
