Just to be sure, which virtualenv version is this?

On my OSX 10.6, creating the py31 env work nicely like this:

    (0)hpk at noco:~/p/tox$ tox -e py31 tests/test_config.py 
    ...
    __________________________ [tox testenv:py31] ______________________________
    [TOX] ***creating virtualenv py31
    [TOX] /Users/hpk/p/tox/.tox$ /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.1/bin/python3.1 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv-1.6.4-py2.7.egg/virtualenv.py --no-site-packages py31 >py31/log/0.log

    ...

Only difference i see is your "virtualenv.py" resides directly in site-packages. 
Odd?!
