Hi,
My experience is not exactly the same, but I had the same error. The
NLS errors, I think, is  ared herring - it was in my case.

You need to make sure that oracle.so (libclntsh.so.10.1) can be found.
In my Fedora installation, I did this via /etc/ld.so.conf. The next
thing is to make sure that the ultimate file pointed to by Oracle.so
has permissions rwxr-xr-x

My install of Oracle, for reasons unknown to me, had this file set to
rwxr-x--- which doesn't work for 'others'.

Also, the previous poster's suggestion about backslashes versus
slashes is a good avenue to pursue...

good luck,
phil
