So does anything work? Is the import OK?
Are there any error messages?
Can you call any of the other CLR functions?
Can you  get a basic 'hello world' to run under .NET?

I've never used IronPython but I have played around
with C# and VB.Net on an earlier .NET framework (V2?)

There should be a bunch of functions you can access
via CLR, check that they work first to prove CLR
integration is OK.

For example can you use AddReference() to access
a standard  .NET assembly rather than AddReferenceToFile()
which is I assume for DLLs.

Finally there is an active gmane IronPython news group
which you could try for more focussed help...

gmane.comp.python.ironpython.user

It is probably sourced from the IronPython mailing
list of you prefer that...

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users

Finally I did find this reference:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3692539/clr-addreferencetofile-fails-in-ironpython-2-7

Which notes that you can only import DLLS compiled for .NET v4 in 
IronPython 2.7. Might that be the problem?
