Tobias, Could you explain a bit more? By two directories do you mean two 0.7 branch directories in svn? There should only be one that I created when I branched from trunk a few weeks ago. If you mean two different local checkouts then why don't you just ditch one and do a fresh install?
The error you are getting usually results from two different Mapnik versions being installed, say the apt-get package that uses a version prefix for the installed plugin directory and a source installed version. Doing a full scons -c (clean) and reinstall usually fixes the problem (and of course uninstalling the packaged version) by ensuring that the python bindings are installed correctly which know the proper location to register the plugins ( see the __init__. py file and the 'paths.py' file for the paths - determined at install time) that are used to register the plugins. Long sentence sorry- too much holiday beer:) The installed shapefile plugin is a dynamic library called 'shape.input', so if the above discussion does not help resolve your problem then finding all instances of that file on your system and sending an email back to the list would be helpful.
