Strange, but I can't reproduce this bug with gnome-python 2.10 and gnome
2.10. It may be newer libraries problem or something like this.

Of course, it's always better just to debug your program. Run

strace -f gnome-schedule >& strace.log

Then you can find what directories are searched for the help file and
what is actually missing.
