Thank you all for your guidance on this issue.
Daz, the loadScreen path and the load_modules paths are exactly the same.
I don't understand why but the loadScreen found and loaded the module but the load_modules failed because there was no
mach4 dir/profiles/my profile/modules folder.
Once I created the modules folder under the profile folder it worked.
I haven't tried it yet but I assume if I eliminated that as part of the package altogether it would have worked.
