Could it be that $libdir doesn't contain uuid-ossp when the .sql script 
is being executed?

It's also worth checking that the pg_config you are executing is the one 
associated with postgresql-8.4.2 - make sure your PATH is set 
appropriately. I'm not sure that it would give this error, but I keep 
making the mistake of setting my PATH with the three versions I have on 
my dev box.
