Works for me, though.

I get:

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.4/matplotlib/_path.so
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.4/matplotlib/path.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.4/matplotlib/path.pyc
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/matplotlib/_path.so
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/matplotlib/path.py
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/matplotlib/path.pyc
/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.4/matplotlib/_path.so
/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.5/matplotlib/_path.so

I don't see you missing any files, so it's quite strange. I'll let
Sandro comment, but still wonder if merely reinstalling the package
helps.
