what is the path to your vst folder? i think dssi-vst defaults to 
searching in /home/<username>/vst. if that's not where you've got yr 
vst's, then you can just create a symbolic link to them ...

also - as far as i remember, dssi-vst builds - but fails to install - 
the "vsthost" script ... this is a useful way of starting dssi-vst 
plugins without the overly long default command-line option - you should 
merely copy the vsthost script from the dssi-vst folder to /usr/bin ... 
you can then start vst plugins with:

vsthost "B4"

or something similar.

but, basically, for any vst plugins to show up in om, they must be 
listed in dssi-vst's scanned-plugins directory - which is at:

/home/<username>/.dssi-vst/
