Well, it certainly works for me (or I wouldn't have shipped it).

I'm assuming that the babel binary itself loads the formats properly  
and that these files do actually exist?

Try setting the environment variable BABEL_LIBDIR:
export BABEL_LIBDIR=/home/doc/linux/lib/openbabel

Other than that, it'd help to know what version of Linux (and Python)  
you're running. I'm not sure what it'd tell me, but it would give me  
some info to try to find a similar machine for testing.
