Assuming you've double-checked the paths, there's always the possibility
that your XMLs are borked. If you run gnuradio-companion in the command
line, do you see any errors or warnings corresponding to your block?

If you're sure you're blocks work, test if it's really a pathing problem
by manually copying the blocks to /usr/share[..] and see if they turn up
in GRC.
