I figured it out. As suggested here:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#administrator-installation
I had created a distutils.cfg to redirect my installs from the regular
site-packages directory.
Since the distutils.cfg settings are read in for all distutils uses at
the command line, they were also being read in when I tried to run
"setup.py bdist_wininst", and so all my filenames were getting the
altered paths instead of the regular PURELIB ones.
Thanks everyone for the help!
