Hmm, the complete message is:

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "./pyFTPdrop.py", line 14, in ?
      import sys, syslog, socket,string, os
        File "/user/lgx00460/lib/python2.1/socket.py", line 251
            total += len(line)
               ^          

Does that clear up anything?
