programatically setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH did it for me. Specifically, the response by tye.

Basically, it starts the script, then checks for the right environment variable. If it's not there, it modifies the enviroment, then restarts the script. Ugly, but it works.

For posterity, it was LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting that needed tweaking.
