That's rather strange.  I assume the file exists as listed?  I tested
this using the latest in SVN and it's working for me (ubuntu 6.06, ruby
1.8.4).  In 3.0, stdapi is automatically loaded when the session starts.
Are the commands not listed when you type help from the meterpreter
prompt?  Additionally, the 'Loading extension' message should be
suppressed for stdapi since it's automatically loaded.  Are you running
the 'use' command manually?
